Wave Simulator:
I noticed that when the way amplitude and the frequency reacted together, the more amplitude the higher the wave. More frequency of the drops of water, the more waves are produced and the faster they come.
When a barrier is added the waves have a continuously high frequency and amplitude. The wave bounces back from the barrier, interfering with the other waves and going around the barrier to make even more ripples.
When the barrier is placed at the end of the pan, the waves go around the barrier and create little ripples inside the place with the barrier. Some of the waves bounce back and interact with the waves coming. This creates a very cool pattern.
The next test that I completed placing the barrier right up close to the faucet. My results was almost like the the last test. I found that when the barrier creates almost like a long stretched ripple. Then with the wave finally goes around the barrier it creates larger continuous wave.
Aren't waves the best? I like this simulator because you can do so much with it. Did you notice any similarities between the wave properties we investigated with the two water wave labs we did in class with and without barriers? Very good analysis and conclusions.
