In this webquest we are going to learn all about frequency! Frequency is defined as the number of complete waves per unit of time. During this lesson you will learn how frequency relates to sound waves.
|
|
| Task: |
|
| |
For this webquest you will be working in groups of two to research about sound waves and frequency.While working through this lesson I want you to think about the following questions.
1. Define frequency in your own words.
2. How are the period and frequency of a wave related?
3. If the unit for the period of vibration is seconds, what is the unit of frequency?
4.Why do you think that the length of the string is the factor that determines the period of the pendulum?
5.Do the words "frequent" and "frequency" have anything in common?
