Activity 1.)Grab a partner and grab a slinky. 2.)Take the slinky and stretch it out between you two (make like 10 ft between you) 3.) have one partner slow move the slinky up and down gradually added more energy to it.
You will notice as the slinky starts to move fast the wave will go from large to multiple small waves. The amount of energy you put in, the larger the frequency, and short wavelength.
?Questions? 1.) What is the relationship between energy, frequency, and wavelength? 2.) What happened when you added more energy when moving the slinky?
