Property of Sir Wave Length Medium- Amplitude of Frequency Town in Hertzville

Hey guys... guess what? I have this thing. A thing that makes it the hardest possible task in to world to do when you have to write a blog: WRITERS BLOCK.


So yeah... Today I will be talking about Wave Properties. Thus my insanely weird title. Okay so let's go over some vocab words...

Frequency: The number of times a wave passes a given point in one second. It's measured in hertz, or waves p/s. Frequency is also related to wavelength. A wave with a shorter wavelength will have a higher frequency, and vice versa. So let's say they wanted to see what the frequency of a wave was. If the wave passed the point 8 times in one second, the frequency would be 8. Easy as pie... or finding the frequency of a wave...



Amplitude: Distance between the crest and midpoint of a wave. The amplitude is also the measure of how much energy a wave is carrying- more energy means a higher amplitude. A large sound wave is more likely to hurt your ears because it has a greater amplitude.

Steps to get this photo
Step 1: Download brainpop app and watch video on your phone.
Step 2: Take screenshot at appropriate part of video.
Step 3: Go into your photo library and crop the photo.
Step 4: Email it to yourself and attach it to blog via the internet. 



  Next were going to talk about... FIREWORKS!!! Did you know that the reason that you hear a fireworks display before you see it is because sound travels at 343 meters p/s, while light travels at about 300 million meters p/s, which is pretty blooming fast (only the people who saw the lights video in my last blog will get that one). 



  Okay, so the speed of a wave can be caused by many different things. The formula for speed is speed= distance/time. So all of these factors determine how fast a wave is!


A picture that really sums everything up! 

  Okay guys well that is my blog...hmm... for some reason I typed "long" and had to go back and fix it.. SuperSaraSuperBye!



I have decided that Caroloke's birthday is August 17th. It's the first date that popped in my head.

    Wow, your blogs shorter than usual, but you told me that so it's okay. Other than that great blog, as usual!

    Good job, you great blog writer-er-er! It was a bit shorter that usual, and it didn't have a lot of information, but the information you did have was great! It was written in a style that anyone could understand, and you really broke it up for us. Love the pictures, too. Sorry your Brainpop one didn't show up. Good job, though! -Live Long, Stay Strong
