... Physics Coursework Aim: Experiment to investigate the relationship between speed and depth for a water wave. I predict that the greater the depth of water the faster a water wave would travel. Speed=distance travelled / time Prediction: As I explained earlier, the greater the depth of water the faster a water wave would travel. The angle of the guttering is a major factor in this as changing the angle would make the guttering unlevel and will slow down the wave therefore making the experiment unfair. Apparatus: The equipment I need to carry out the work and to obtain my results is: · A length of gutter · Water · 250cm3 Beaker · Metre Ruler · 30cm ruler · Retort stand · Clamp · String · A wooden block · Stopwatch Diagram: Preliminary Work: Preliminary work is the work that is done beforehand for you to know that the experiment is going to work. It is a way for the person carrying out the experiment to know that it
