Hi All,
We have used trays in class to test various ways that waves act when in a closed container. Have you ever wondered how ocean waves are created? Nobody is making a constant disturbance in it like we were in the tray, how do they always seem to be there on the beach? Wave simulatorThis website will give you an idea of how ocean waves travel and what affects their intensity. Have a look. You will need to press play when you get to the page.
Note: Check out what happens to the wavelength as you increase or decrease wind across the ocean surface.
What about wave speed and intensity? Think back to the experiment we did with the ropes and slinkies, less energy, longer wavelength, right? Check it out! Write a short reflection about this simulation and what you noticed and add the link to your blog.
Dear J Medenica,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Wietske van Osch. I would like to use the above image (the first one) for the cover of my dissertation about Innovation in Online Communities. Would it be okay if I use this image? You can contact me on: w [dot] vanosch [at] uva [dot] nl.
Thank you!
