Taking a look at Wave Interference/Simulator
1/29/2011
Wave Simulator:
One Wave Drops:
As I tested the frequency and the amplitude of the wave simulator or the interference among both of them, I had found out that more frequency will alter the water drops; by increasing the frequency, I could see around 1-3 drops per second. Also when increasing the amplitude, the wave drops become larger or simply higher. The combination of increasing the frequency and the amplitude will produce larger/higher waves and faster.
More Frequency = Faster the wave drops
More Amplitude = Higher or larger waves
With Barriers:
With the barriers, the experiment looked much cooler. In this trial with one slit of a barrier, I could see the waves bouncing/reflecting in one spot. The barrier was able to capture or block the wave from going on. On the other hand, the water level of the barriers was strange. As the wave produces the wave, it decreases due to the barrier which prevents it. This experiment actually leads to the experiment our class did with the clay.
In conclusion, I think that this wave interference was a note to discover the wave's motion or movement.
Very good observations. Well organized blog post, but the conclusion was a bit unclear.
