Wave Machine Tutorial Quiz

What are the three main components used to construct the wave machine?

• Plastic rods, candy, and adhesive

• Kebab sticks, jelly babies, and duct tape

• Wooden dowels, gummy bears, and string

• Straws, marshmallows, and glue

What is the purpose of the jelly babies in the wave machine?

• To provide a sweet treat for students

• To add mass and slow down the wave for better visibility

• To act as a weight to keep the machine stable

• To add color to the machine

How can you change the amplitude of the wave in the machine?

• By adding more jelly babies

• By lifting the jelly baby higher

• By decreasing the spacing between kebab sticks

• By increasing the tension in the tape

What happens to the wave speed when jelly babies are removed from part of the machine?

• The wave speed fluctuates

• The wave speed decreases

• The wave speed remains the same

• The wave speed increases

What analogy is used to describe the change in wave speed when jelly babies are removed?

• Radio waves being amplified

• Water waves hitting a barrier

• Light waves speeding up as they move from glass into air

• Sound waves traveling through different media
