Suggested PAG activity — PAG 4 – Measuring waves / example: ripple-tank speed, frequency and wavelength
OCR requires PAG 4 observations of waves in fluids and solids and evaluation of apparatus for measuring speed, frequency and wavelength; ripple-tank measurement is the example activity.

Wave speed, frequency and wavelength
Freeze ripple-tank waves and measure ten wavelengths against a rule, then tune a vibration generator to find stationary waves on a string, and work out both wave speeds.
This simulation supports preparation and data-analysis practice. It does not replace carrying out real practical work.
