Experiment 3

The purpose of this experiment was to find the relationship between the relationship between the wavelength and frequency.

The above picture describes how we used a metal spring to find the relationship in the spring.

The above video shows how the student created a standing wave.


The Data collected is below with it's corresponding graphs.

Our data did not give us the relationship between the wavelength and frequency that we were looking for. The main source of error in our experiment was the fact that we used a spring that was stretched out in the experiment. This meant that the tension in the string was inconsistent throughout the experiment when it was stretched out.

The relationship that were were trying to confirm with out experiment was:
