You will need the following items: a rope about 10 to 20 meters long, a meter or yard stick, a watch that records seconds, and a helper. Tie one end of the rope to a doorknob or other secure object at about waist height. Have your helper take one end of the rope and whip it up and down, while you watch. Answer the questions below. What type of wave was created? How do you know?

Estimate the wavelength of the wave produced.

Estimate the frequency of the wave produced. This is most easily estimated by counting the number of waves that pass the measuring device within a particular time interval as measured on your watch, or by counting the number of times the hand is shaken up and down.

Compute the velocity of your wave.

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
