  1. For the following trials keep the simulation on Pulse (https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/wave-on-a-string/latest/wave-on-a-string_en.html). Pause the simulation immediately after a wave is created to record the data below. Use slow motion to help you capture the wave on the screen. Then let the simulation continue until the wave dissipates.
Amplitude (cm) Pulse Width (s) Fixed/Loose End Damping Tension Length of Wave (cm) Measured Amplitude (cm)
Trial 4 0.75 0.5 Fixed Medium High
Trial 5 0.75 0.5 Fixed High High
Trial 6 0.75 0.5 Fixed Medium Low
Trial 7 0.75 0.5 Fixed High Low
