Wave on a String PhET Lab
This virtual PhET Wave on a String Lab provides students opportunity to experiment with the various components of waves and the relationships between their anatomy, motion, and energy. It's SO important to see waves in motion to understand them! This virtual lab is a great way to help students to visualize the motion of transverse waves and to give them the opportunity to manipulate waves in order to see the relationships between wavelength, frequency, and wave speed. The lab provides both a gui
