Waves String Studio
A wave has amplitude (height), wavelength (spacing), frequency and speed. Amplitude is independent of wavelength, while frequency and wavelength trade off when speed stays fixed: speed = frequency × wavelength.

What your child will figure out
- Predict and observe that changing amplitude changes wave height without changing wavelength or speed.
- Predict how increasing frequency shortens wavelength when wave speed is fixed.
- Use speed = frequency × wavelength to calculate a missing wave quantity.
- Transfer height-and-spacing reasoning to match a novel wave.
The levels
- Wave height
Predict and test what changes when amplitude doubles.
- Wave spacing
Predict and test how frequency changes wavelength at fixed speed.
- The wave rule
Use speed = frequency × wavelength to predict wavelength.
- Mystery match
Match a novel target wave using its height and spacing.
Ready when they are.
