Form 14: Frequency Effects and Wave Behavior
In this activity, students will explore how frequency impacts wave behavior through hands-on experiments, using tuning forks and water waves to observe phenomena like interference and resonance. By analyzing their findings, learners will deepen their understanding of wave properties and the principles of sound and light.
