    The document outlines an experiment to study the relationship between water depth and wavelength in a ripple tank. It describes the hypothesis that if depth increases, wavelength will also increase. It lists the variables, apparatus, procedure, data collection, and analysis steps which involve measuring wavelength at different water depths and plotting a graph of the results.

    (a) Inference : depth affects wavelength (b) Hypothesis : If depth increases, wavelength increases.

    (c) (i) Aim : to study the relationship between depth and wavelength. (ii) variables : - manipulated variable : depth responding variable : wavelength fixed variable : frequency (iii) List of apparatus and materials : ripple tank and accessories, power supply, water, stroboscope, meter rule (iv) Arrangement of the apparatus :

    Light water motor Straight vibrator White paper Power supply

    stroboscope Ripple tank

    (v) Procedure of the experiment: - Method of controlling the manipulated variable: (i) Put water inside ripple tank until depth = 5.0 cm measured using meter rule. -Method of measuring responding variable. (i) Switch on lamp and motor. (ii) Observe wave image on white paper through stroboscope (iii) Measure wavelength on white paper using meter rule - Repeatition. - Repeat the experiment using depth = 10.0 cm, 15.0 cm, 20.0 cm and 25.0 cm (vi) Table of data : Depth, d/ cm Wavelength, / cm 5.0 10.0 15.0 20.0 25.0 (vii) Analyzing data : graph of wavelength, against depth, d is plotted.
