Yes
The length between two waves is called the what?
The wavelength
In the scientific method we make observations and collect what?
data
Higher or lower frequency?
If the wavelength is longer
Lower frequency

No
The height of the wave is called the what?
amplitutde
After you reach a conclusion what should you do with the information?
write it down and share it
Higher or lower frequency?
If the wavelength is shorter?
Higher frequency
What are the three types of waves we are learning about this semester?
water waves, light waves and sound waves
the measurement of how many complete wave cycles pass a specific point.
Frequency
Can you ever repeat an experiment?
Yes
More waves =
Higher frequency
