Standing Waves

In today's class, we learned about standing waves. We learned that waves happen with a frequency, and that standing waves are just a pattern of waves. I also learned that the top a wave is called the crest and the bottom of the wave is called a trough. So after learning a few of these things, we did a lab. In this lab we used a slinky as the "wave" and there was a student at each side of the slinky. One of the students added force into the slinky to make the waves.
