Educator Resources for Wave on a String
In Wave on a String, students can create waves by wiggling a string, creating a pulse, or using an oscillator. Students explore how the frequency, amplitude, tension, and damping affect the motion of the wave. Students investigate how a wave behaves when it has a fixed end, loose end, or no end.
