Plan how to test how vibration frequency affects wavelength in water of constant depth, and explain what graph would test the wave equation.
Task interpretation
What a complete response should do
Define what changes and what is measured, then give a reproducible method and a way to judge the evidence.
Make assumptions explicit, connect several ideas, and test whether the final result is physically reasonable.
