WAVES AND OSCILLATIONS - WAVE MOTION - LONGITUDINAL PULSES AND WAVES	NC State University Faculty Access
Previous Next Suspended Slinky # 3B20.10
Description: Display propagation, reflection, interference, as well as a number of other longitudinal wave phenomena. Simply induce motion in the spiral spring using the wave exciters located at each end. To vary the frequency of the wave motion, slide the wave exciter masses up or down. The black spiral wave spring in front of the contrasting white cloth backdrop makes the demonstration easy for everyone to see.
