Wave Lab Response

1)   Amplitude different with frequency constant
             Amplitude at 25% = .8 cm
             Amplitude at 50% = .8 cm

2)  Frequency different with amplitude constant.
            Frequency at 25% = 3.16 cm
            Frequency at 25% = 1.8 cm

3)  By adjusting the amplitude of the wave you do not change the wavelengths, only the height of the waves. Whereas adjusting the frequency will change the wavelength but not the height of the waves.

4) X -> A ~ 4.20cm       Y -> A ~ 4.20cm
    X -> B ~ 4.28cm        Y -> B ~ 6..62cm
    X -> C ~ 6.60cm        Y -> C ~4.32cm
    X -> D ~ 6.65cm        Y -> D ~ 8.01cm
    X -> E ~ 6.57cm        Y -> E ~ 6.62cm
    X -> F ~ 7.90cm        Y -> F ~ 6..55cm
 
Distance of Wavelength = 2.8cm
Distance Between X & Y = 5cm



Comparing the constructive interference with the measurements, I can conclude that the distance between wavelengths cause by the drips is approximately the same to slightly bigger at each point.
