Question

Write a short reflection about a time when you’ve seen waves (can be water waves [i.e. at the ocean or in a bathtub] or strings/ropes, etc) and describe what you remember about the amplitude, frequency, and wavelength of these waves and how they might have changed while you experienced them.

Answer 1

I observed water waves at the beach and noticed how the amplitude, frequency, and wavelength varied with the size of the waves.

Step-by-step explanation:

One time, I was at the beach and I observed water waves. The amplitude of the waves was the height of the crest above the calm water level, and it varied depending on the size of the waves. The frequency was the number of wave crests that passed a point per second, and it determined how often the waves came in. The wavelength was the distance between two wave crests, and it also varied depending on the size of the waves.

As I observed the waves, I noticed that when bigger waves came in, the amplitude was larger, meaning the waves were taller. The frequency remained relatively constant, with waves coming in one after another. The wavelength, however, was longer for the bigger waves compared to the smaller ones.

Overall, I found it fascinating how the amplitude, frequency, and wavelength of the water waves changed depending on the size of the waves, and how they all worked together to create the mesmerizing motion of the ocean.
