"Wave on a String" Simulation

Question one:  Which takes more energy, slow up and down, or fast up and down?
Answer: The faster you move, the more energy you burn.


Question two: Does fast frequency correspond with low energy or high energy?
Answer: High frequency requires more energy as there is more movement.


Question three: What is the frequency of the provided (frequency 27, amplitude 50) wave in Hz?
Answer: Hz = cycles/seconds
             Hz = 1/1.02
             Hz = 0.98


Question four :  What is the frequency of the provided wave(frequency 100, amplitude 50) in Hz?
 Answer: Hz = cycles/seconds
              Hz = 1/ 0.27
              Hz = 3.70




Question five:  What is the frequency of the provided wave (frequency 27, amplitude 100) in Hz?
 Answer: Hz = cycles/seconds
              Hz = 1/0.52
              Hz = 1.92




Question six:  What is the frequency of the provided wave (frequency 27, amplitude 50) in Hz?
 Answer: Hz = cycles/seconds
              Hz = 1/ 0.49
              Hz = 2.04




Question seven:  What is the frequency of the provided wave (frequency 100, amplitude 50) in Hz?
 Answer: Hz = cycles/seconds
              Hz = 1/ 0.13
              Hz = 7.69


Question eight: Describe the relationships between energy, frequency and wavelength. Include descriptions for relationships of all three.
Answer: The higher the frequency, the larger the wave length and the more energy the movement requires.
