How can I create a product of what waves represent to me?  Describe your project idea in detail: My project is a book of poetry with art that represents the concepts of waves. The concepts will also be explained through the poetry and the words will flow on different waves.

What is your idea? Why is this idea a good way to represent the concepts of waves?   I think it's a good idea because I'll be able to use words to explain the concepts, but in a more abstract way. I will also be able to use my artistic skills to add some images into the book, and help explain the concepts easier if some people don't understand poetry. Lastly, I think it will be really interesting to hear and decode and also follow the words along the page along different waves or concepts and it will all come together to make the concepts less complicated and more fun.

How will you create it? (what skills are necessary) I will need to write lots of poems, and also try to be creative with my representations of waves with paintings, drawings, 3d art, anything that catches the eye.

What materials will you need?  

-Book Cover and Back with empty pages

-Colored Pencils

-Paint

-Fine Tip Sharpie

What is a wave?  How are waves produced?  Compare and contrast the 2 types of waves.

Waves are created when there is a disturbance in a medium. Waves transfer energy through a medium without moving matter around it. Transverse waves, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Longitudinal waves, the particles move parallel to the direction the wave travels. Then, transverse waves, the wavelength is measured from crest to crest. There is a crest and trough in transverse waves. In longitudinal waves the wavelength is from line to line. There are compressions and rarefactions. 

What is the relationship between f, T, λ, and v of a wave? (conceptual and mathematical)

Basically the velocity of the wave can be calculated using the f, frequency, and the wavelength of a wave. T is the period, which is the inverse of the frequency or 1/f. 

In your project how will you show how waves are produced and what waves do? In your project how will you illustrate the 2 types of waves? 

I'm working on a poem where each wave is a character. Terry is the transverse wave and Larry is the longitudinal wave. Basically, their characteristics is through their personality, likes, etc throughout the poem.  

In your project how will you show the difference between the frequency and period of a wave?  

I'm still figuring this out but I would do this by maybe applying this to time of day that someone does something, and how they do opposite things.

In your project how will you use the mathematical relationship relating wave speed, frequency, and wavelength?  v = f λ   Create your own mathematical problem relevant to your project.   Be sure to use correct units for each concept.  

I was thinking some kind of story about someone doing a math problem or going on a trip and maybe introducing some sounds/waves along with the numbers. Maybe the person loves physics and thinks of the numbers a lot and does calculations during the night after each day of the trip. I'm also still formulating that poem.
