got it. thank you.

Thank you mfb. I guess I'm talking about something similar to what they have set up here: http://www.niiler.com/phy130/lab11waves.pdf Now, the only way to increase the speed of that wave would be to put a bigger mass on the other end, right? But what happens to the frequency of the...

Sorry for another dumb question. Thank you in advance. What factors effect the frequency of sound and light waves. Light waves are effected by electromagnetic energy and given by (f=E/h) right? What about sound waves? Also, to make sure, even though ultraviolet light has much more...

Please help me, I'm so bewildered it's not even funny. Does the frequency only depend on the source? This all seems so paradoxical to me...for example: An 100 Hz oscillator produces a wave on a rope with a wavelength of .1 meters. If I increase the tension of the rope by sticking a weight at...
