Understand The Relationship Between Frequency And Wavelength

Throughout the course of engineering, the class has been learning about the concept of frequency and wavelength. Frequency is know as a the amount of number of waves that passes a specific point on a per second. A wavelength is equal to the distance between two running waves. In life, people don’t usually think that frequency or wavelength is included in on our daily day life. Well, they are wrong wavelength and frequency are used in our daily day life, people use these two concepts when they are listening to music or when a musician is playing an instrument. The clear purpose of the artifact was to learn and fully understand the relationship between frequency and wavelength. In this assignment we had to build a pan flute out of straw and

Most of these concepts are based on the unit of trigonometry. While, learning the relationship between frequency and wavelength there were some concept that came across this artifact. One of these concept was Sinusoidal wave. A sinusoidal wave is a curve that describes a smooth repetitive oscillation. In other words, a sinusoidal wave is the wave that moves in smooth motion. Another concept that was used in this artifact was Amplitude. The amplitude is how high or low on the graph. In other words the amplitude is known as half the distance between the maximum and minimum values of the function. To find the amplitude you can use the formula of A= D/F. In this formula the D represent the distance traveled by the wave and the F represents the frequency of the wave. Frequency is the number of cycles it completes a full cycle . The frequency is affected by the period. It also know as the vibrations made within a specific time in a wave. To find the frequency I used the formula f = V / λ. In this formula the V represent the velocity of the wave, and λ represents the wavelength of the wave. The last concept that I used in this artifact that was related to the unit of trigonometry was period. Period is know as the length from the top of a point to the next matching point in a function Sinusoidal Function. To find the period one has use the formula of

The speed of sound is the distance travelled per unit time by a sound wave. The speed of sound is 331 m/s. The second concept that I used was the concept of wavelength. A wavelength is the distance between two points that are next to each other and are the same points in a wave. To find the wavelength one has to use the formula λ=v/f . In this formula v represents the Speed and f represent the Frequency. With the speed of the wave and the frequency one can find the wavelength of a wave. Another, concept that I used was standingwave. A standing waves is a wave that is cramped up in a space. For, example one can find a standing wave inside the chamber of a wind instrument like clarinet and panflute. To find the standing wave need to divide the wavelength by 2 because the standing wave is half the wavelength. The last concept that I used was in this artifact that was related to the topic of engineering was nodes and antinodes. Nodes and Antinodes are the two made points in a standing wave. The nodes are knows as the points where the strings do not move on the wave. Antinodes are the opposites, antinodes are the place where the string moves on the
