... Physics Coursework Assignment 2 Christabel Adebayo Investigating the speed of travelling waves in water. Aim The objective of this experiment is to investigate how the speed of travelling waves in water varies with the depth of water, and to verify whether the results supports the formula v2 = gd. Background knowledge Mechanical Waves are waves, which propagate through a material medium (solid, liquid, or gas) at a wave speed, which depends on the elastic and inertial properties of that medium. There are two basic types of wave motion for mechanical waves: longitudinal waves and transverse waves. In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. The particles simply oscillate back and forth about their individual equilibrium positions. In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. The particles do not move along with the wave; they simply oscillate up and down about their
