To determine the velocity of a wave, you can use the slow-motion (SloMo) feature on your phone's camera to measure the time it takes for a wave to travel a known distance. By dividing the distance traveled by the time it took to travel, you can calculate the velocity of the wave.
Another way to determine the velocity of a wave is to use the relationship between its wavelength and frequency. The velocity of a wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and frequency. By measuring the wavelength and frequency of a wave, you can calculate its velocity. Additionally, you can compare the velocities of circular and straight waves to determine any differences in their speeds.

The velocity of a wave
#FunFact: You can determine the velocity of a wave in 2 ways! Use your phone's SloMo to measure distance and time OR use the wavelength and frequency relationship. Bonus: compare circular and straight wave speeds! #Physics #WaveVelocity
