Speed of Light

Post by mynamewastaken »

I'm doing the speed of light using a microwave oven. The project said under Questions " What is the relationship between wave speed, frequency and wavelength" now would that be the Question used for the "question" part of the science fair project and how would I go about making a hypothesis for this question?

Hi mynamewastaken,

The question, "What is the relationship between wave speed, frequency, and wavelength?" is a question you should answer during your background research. It is not the question you will test by doing your experiment. To write the scientific question you will test, turn the "objective" on the "Summary" page of the Project Idea into a question.
All the best,
Terik
