Determine the relationship between the wavelength and frequency of a wave.
Step 1: Experiment
As shown below, we attempted to create standing waves on the ground using a long spring.
The time for ten peaks to pass was recorded.
| Wavelength | 2 m | 1 m | 3 m |
| Time | 4.9 | 4.7 | 5.33 |
| Frequency | 2.041 Hz | 2.128 Hz | 1.887 Hz |
Should you graph the values of wavelength versus the frequency, the slope of that graph would be the wave velocity.
