Measure Me Wavey
The Period of a wave is measured in
What is Seconds?
𝝺
What is wavelength? represented by lambda
Represents the high point of a longitudinal wave
What is a compression?
The formula for the velocity of a wave is: v= 𝝺 x ⨍
If the wavelength increases, the frequency will increase or decrease?
What is decrease?
so, INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL
This teacher named his dog after a character from Star Wars
Who is Mr. Drury?!
The wavelength of a wave is measured in
What is Meters?
⨍
What is frequency? measured in wavelengths PER SECOND or Hz or Hertz.
The formula for the velocity of a wave is: v= 𝝺 x ⨍
If the frequency increases, the wavelength will increase or decrease?
What is decrease?

This teacher once went scuba diving with great barracuda and hammerhead sharks and did not get eaten
Who is Mr. McQuire?!
Frequency of a wave is measured in
What is meters/second or Hertz or Hz?
T
What is Period (T)? The TIME it takes for a wave to complete ONE wavelength or one cycle.
Represents the low point of a longitudinal wave
What is rarefaction?
The formula for frequency:
⨍= 1 cycle or wavelength/T . So think of it as wavelength per second.
What happens to the frequency as the wavelength becomes smaller?
the frequency increases
why? because if the wave is smaller, you will see MORE of it in that period of time.

In 2019 this teacher was inducted into the UNDW Women's Basketball Hall of Fame
Who is Mrs. Beiswenger?
Velocity is measured in
What is meters/second. ?
V
What is Velocity? The speed of the wave i meters per second.
Points on a standing wave graph that represent an area that appears to have the most displacement
What is an antinode?
The Dopper Effect. A fire engine is coming toward you. The wavelengths are (shorter/longer). The frequency is (higher/lower).
The wavelengths are closer together so SHORTER. The frequency is HIGHER. You have just proved to yourself that as wavelengths DECREASE the frequency INCREASES. They are INVERSLY PROPORTIONAL!
This teacher ran three ultramarathons including a 100K (62.2 miles)
Who is Mr Fisher?!
The measurement used to describe particle displacement for a Crest, Trough, or Ampitude.
What is distance or meters?
v= 𝝺 x ⨍
What is the velocity of a wave or how fast it travels? velocity can be found by multiplying the wavelength by the frequency.
Points on a standing wave graph that represent an area that appears to be motionless
What is a node?
Period or T (seconds/cycle or wavelength)
Frequency (cycle or wavelength/second)
⨍=1/T. As the frequency increases the TIME that it takes for one wavelenth to pass is INCREASED or DECREASED?
Decreased.
The wave is smaller with increased frequency so the time that it takes for one wave to pass would be less. As Frequency increases, Time decreases. They are INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL.

Who is Mrs. Tucker?!
