Marshmallow Wave Machine Lab Quiz

What is the main question being investigated in the marshmallow wave machine lab?

• Does the color of marshmallows affect wave speed?

• Does mass affect the wave speed on a wave machine?

• Does the length of skewers affect wave speed?

• Does temperature affect wave speed?

What was observed about the wave speed when marshmallows were added to the wave machine?

• Wave speed remained constant regardless of marshmallows.

• Wave speed increased with more marshmallows.

• Wave speed was unpredictable with marshmallows.

• Wave speed decreased with more marshmallows.

What is the primary concept explained about waves in the experiment?

• Waves move matter, not energy.

• Waves do not move energy or matter.

• Waves move both energy and matter equally.

• Waves move energy, not matter.

How does amplitude affect wave speed according to the experiment?

• Amplitude affects wave speed only with marshmallows.

• Lower amplitude decreases wave speed.

• Higher amplitude increases wave speed.

• Amplitude does not affect wave speed.

What was the wave speed result when a larger amplitude was used?

• Wave speed was almost identical to a smaller amplitude.

• Wave speed was unpredictable.

• Wave speed was slightly slower.

• Wave speed was significantly faster.
