STANDING WAVES A string attached to a turning fork is set vibrating at the same frequency as the tuning fork. The length and tension in the string are adjusted until standing waves are observed on the string. By knowing the tension in the string and the wavelength of the standing waves‚ the frequency of oscillation of the string and thus‚ the tuning fork is found. This value is then compared to a strobelight determination of the frequency. THEORY If transverse waves of constant

explaining in turn what light and sound are‚ but first we need to know what waves are in order to make it easy to understand the others. Waves exist in both sound and light. Or to make a better sense‚ it is what makes them exist. Waves are vibrations that transfer energy from place to place within a medium. The medium could be solid‚ liquid or gas. It is the medium that vibrates as the waves travel through. There are some waves that don’t need to travel through a substance. They may be able to travel

The Three Big Waves of Feminism First-Wave Feminism: Women’s Right to Vote In 1776‚ the then First Lady of the United States was the first to raise her about women’s rights‚ telling her husband to “remember the ladies” in his drafting of new laws‚ yet it took more than 100 years for men like John Adams to actually do so. With the help of half a dozen determined‚ and in this case white upper-middle-class‚ women the first-wave feminism‚ which spans from the 19th century to the early 20th century
