Compare the slope of your Data Table 2 graph to the average wavelength (Ave, l) from Data Table 2 by calculating the % Difference. Is the % Difference calculated for the wavelength in Data Table 2 within an acceptable % error? Explain why or why not?
The slope of a graph of velocity, v, vs frequency, f, is equal to wavelength, l. Compare the slope of your Data Table 1 graph to the average wavelength (Ave, l) from Data Table 1 by calculating the % Difference.
Examine the slope of the line on the graph created using the data in Data Table 4 of Period, T2 vs L, the slope of the line is a constant containing the acceleration due to gravity, g. Using the slope of your line, determine the experimental value for g. Compare the value you determined for g from the slope of the graph to the expected value of 9.81 m/s2 by calculating the percent error.
