To study the relationship of wavelength versus frequency in waves.
Equipment:
- 2-Meter Stick
- Long Spring (1 m or longer)
- Video Recording Device
Lay spring on floor with a 2-meter stick parrallel as a reference. One person holds each end of the spring while one sends constant oscillations down the length of the spring. Record the time it takes for a wave peak to travel 1 meter and the length of the wave.

Conclusion:
We tried fitting a linear trendline to the data and while it fits reasonably, it is not the proper explanation for the data.
