For this project we tried to design some of the base instruments that are part of music today. My team chose guitar, trombone , and my instrument the chimes. This project allowed us to be able to freely observe and venture the world of creating instruments. This first thing apart of the design process was finding which instruments we picked and created. We had to make a string, wind and percussion instrument. next was actually sketching a blueprint of our idea of our instrument. After we went to create them I then made 8 chimes that were created based on certain lengths to make specific notes. After since I finished earlier than everyone else I was able to help my team and other people who had my type of instrument they were working on. Later we were assigned write a song about our current topic which were wavelengths. So I created my own original "WAVELENGTH AND FREQUENCY"
1. Frequency: number of wavelengths that pass the given point at a certain amount of time
How to Calculate: f = v/𝝺
2. Wavelength: length of a wave from a point to adjacent wave's counterpart point
How to Calculate: 𝝺 = v/f
3. Wave Speed: the rate of covered distance in a direction that a wave travels
How to Calculate: v=f𝝺
4. Amplitude: the distance from a crest or trough of a wave to the midline of the wave
5. Transverse Wave: The wave which vibrates perpendicular to a motion it propagates, producing troughs and crests, which in turn, an amplitude
6. Longitudinal Wave: The wave that vibrates the direction of propagation, that is diversified with compression and rarefaction
7. Electromagnetic Spectrum: The range of electromagnetic radiation which advances an increase of frequency plus potency, inserting visible light as a median.
CHARACTER: This is the one thing that really progressed during this whole project for me. This because I finished earlier than anyone else I only needed 2 days to work on this and others had 4 so I was able to step aside and view other projects and see if I could help and pass on the the things that I had trouble on.
COLLABORATION: Due to me finishing early I was able help people improve their projects which I helped and collaborated with people in my group and others.
COMMUNICATION: Even though I helped people figure out their projects , In thee beginning I really had trouble on communicating what I was trying to do even though I improved on it throughout the project. This is definitely something I will look at next time I work on something.
CRITICAL THINKING: Even though I don't particularly think I exactly had problem with this. I think that this project didn't really allow us to really explore that skill .
