WAVMOTION: 
Did you know how a wave worked?  What is the difference between amplitude and frequency?  Was today's wave activity helpful in understanding how a wave moves?

  1. No I did not know how a wave worked at first. The difference between the two are that frequency is the amount of wavelengths and amplitude is the volume of the sound. Yes today's activity was beneficial to understanding how waves move.

  2. I kind of had an idea how waves worked but not as clear as today's activity explanation. I think frequency is the amount of the waves created and amplitude is the one that measure how fast it goes. Today's activity was fun and really helpful and now i know how waves move.

  3. I kind of knew how waves worked but know I have a better understanding of the process of waves better. Frequency deals with the amount of wavelength while amplitude deals with the volume of sound. the activity was helpful because it gave me a visual on how waves looked

  4. Before today's activity I did not know how a wave worked but know I have somewhat of a better understanding.Frequency is I guess how much the waves occur, and the amplitude measures how fast the waves go.Today's activity was very helping in making me understand how waves move.

  5. I knew a small portion of how waves worked. Amplitude measures how high and how low the waves travel.
    Frequency measures how many waves per interval. Today's activity helped me very much on how waves work.

  6. I somewhat knew how waves worked. Frequency is the number of waves that pass, while amplitude is how much/high the wave moves. Today's activity helped me to learn a lot about how waves work.

  7. Before class today, i didn't realize that a wave doesn't move what it is made of, but rather it is a disturbance that flows through a medium. Amplitude measures the strength of a signal, whereas frequency is the measurement of how many times a disturbance occurs over time. Today's wave activity was helpful.

  8. I didn't really understand how waves worked until today. Amplitude is the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation. Frequency is the number of repetitions of a periodic process in a unit of time. I got a better understanding of waves,amplitude, and frequency because of the example we did and video we watched in class today.

  9. I had an idea of what wavelengths were before today but I had no idea how they actually worked until today. The difference between amplitude and frequency is that amplitude refers to the maximum positive displacement from the undisturbed position of the medium to the top of the crest while the frequency refers to the amount of waves per time interval. Yes today's activity was helpful in understanding wave lengths. I am a visual learner and i got a better understanding of the concept of waves by participating in the activity today.

  10. I somewhat have an idea of how a wave works. Frequency is how many times the wave occurs; while, amplitude measures the speed of the wave. The wave activity was fun and helpful to how a wave moves and works.

  11. Yes I knew how a wave worked. Amplitude is the change over a single period. The frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time. Yes today's activity was very helpful.
