Honors Standing Wave Lab

The lab is due Thursday. A procedure section is not required but a real discussion of how you found the correct force to apply ( by the hanging mass) for each number of loops including the calculation of c from F and Mass/length is required. Note that f should come out to 60 Hz. Plotting c from ( F and Mass/L vs wavelength) should yield f as the slope. DO NOT plot c found from lambda x f vs lambda to find f. All this would prove is that your calculator works.
