Wave Simulator

In science today we used a wave simulator to simulate different waves. It started out as just a faucet dripping one drop of water. You can control many things to make the waves different like frequency, amplitude, barriers, and even change the direction at which you look at the tank. You can look at water waves, light waves, or sound wave. I tested mainly how the waves would react when you change the amplitude and frequency. When the amplitude was very high then the waves were large, and when the amplitude was minimum then there were barely visible waves. When the frequency was very high then there were a lot of waves, when the frequency was low than a wave would only come once in a while. I then tested with barriers and added detectors, which tested the wave length of waves in certain places. I added 5 barriers at a time and that made the waves dissipate very quickly. The wave simulator was a fun thing to do and  is very interesting and educational.
