A) Keep the default settings.

Generate a wave in Top View. Then, click on Side View. After a few seconds add a graph.

1) Is damping happening in this simulation? How do you know?

Same settings:

2) Just by looking, as the waves move out, does the wavelength look like it is increasing or

decreasing or the same? Points won't be deducted if your eyes tell you something different than

a measuring tool.

Answer: __________________________

3) Now, pull down the tape measure and measure the first wavelength. Pause the sim if

needed.

Answer including units: __________________________

Is the wavelength changing between different waves? Yes or no.

Answer: __________________________

4) Now, click on the graph and pull down the tape measure and measure the amplitude at the

first drop (pause when the first drop hits the water at maximum amplitude).
