figure 5 LM page 20.
2. On strips of paper, write the word crest, trough,
 wavelength and amplitude individually.

C. EXPLORE Activity 2: Anatomy of a Wave

 
Procedure
A. How can you measure the wavelength of a
wave?
1. The wavelength of a wave refers to the distance between
any successive identical parts of the wave. For instance,
the distance from one crest to the next is equal to one full
wavelength. In the following illustration, this is given by the
interval B to F. Identify the other intervals that represent
one full wavelength.

2. Place a basin filled with water on top of a level table. Wait

for the water to become still. Create a vibration by
regularly tapping the surface of the water with your index
finger. You would be able to see the subsequent crest of
the water waves.

Figure 6. Crest and trough on a water wave

Draw the water waves as you see them from the top of the
basin. Label one wavelength in your drawing.

3. Increase the rate of the vibrations you create by tapping the

surface of the water rapidly. What happens to the
wavelength of the waves?
Draw the water waves as you see them from the top of the
basin.
Compare it with your drawing in number 2.

B. How do you measure the frequency of a wave?

1. The frequency of a series of periodic waves is the
number of waves that pass a particular point every one
second. Just like what you have done in Activity 1, attach
 a colored ribbon on a rope to serve as a tag. Tie one end
of the rope on a fixed object and ask a friend to create
periodic waves by regularly vibrating the other end of the
rope.
2. You will count how many times the colored ribbon
reached the crest in 10 seconds. You will start counting
once the ribbon reaches the crest a second time. It
means that one wave has passed by the ribbon’s
position. Ask another friend with a watch or a digital timer
to alert you to start counting and to stop counting after 10
seconds. Record the results in Table 1.
3. It is also useful to consider the period of a wave, which is
the time required for one complete wave to pass a given
point. The period of each wave is

end of the rope at a faster rate, what happens to the

the rope?

IV. PROCEDURES

ELICIT and label the parts using the strips of paper.
  * The teacher will let the students to describe each part.
The teacher will call two (2) volunteers to show the class a
B. ENGAGE wave using a rope. The other volunteer will count the wave
created by the rope.
C. EXPLORE Activity 2: Anatomy of a Wave
 
Procedure
C. How do you measure the speed of a wave?
1. Using the rope with ribbon. Create periodic waves and
estimate their wavelength. Count the number of waves
 that pass by the ribbon in ten seconds. Compute the
frequency of the waves. Record the results in Table 2.

2. The wave speed is the distance traveled by the wave per

second.
𝑤𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑑 = 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑑 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑠𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑
= 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑦 𝑥 𝑤𝑎𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ
From the basic formula that applies to all periodic waves, you
can see that wave speed, frequency and wavelength are
independent of the wave’s amplitude.
D. A. Group reporting and presentation of outputs.

ten seconds. Record the data in table 2.
2. Compute the frequency of the waves. Record the
results in table 2.
3. How do we compute the wave speed? What units can
EXPLAIN be use for wave speed? Is the formula applicable to all
  periodic waves?
4. Calculate the wave speed of the observed periodic
waves. And record it in table 2.
5. What happens to the frequency when the wavelength is
greater?
6. What happens to the frequency when the wavelength is
greater?
7. How can you increase/decrease the wave speed?
8. What is the relationship between wave speed,
wavelength and frequency?
E. ELABORATE Did you know?
1. Waves of the same frequency can have different
 
wavelength. A sound can be loud or soft. A spring can be
  lengthened or shortened. A membrane can be shaken
violently or gently. However, waves can also have the
same frequency, velocity and wavelength but different
amplitudes.
2. Tsunamis are catastrophic huge ocean waves caused
by seismic activities such as earthquakes, underwater or
coastal landslides or volcanic eruptions. These giant
waves move at approximately 500km/h and they may be
as high as 30 m when they reach the shore, taller than a
10-storey building. Such waves carry enough energy to
cause a lot of damage to coastal towns and shorelines.
Normal-sized ocean waves also do work on the shore by
breaking up rocks into tiny pieces to form sandy beaches.
