Waves and Oscillations Learning Activities
Avantor offers a complete catalogue of instruments and tools useful for demonstrating key, basic concepts of physics that are applicable to everyday life both in and out of the laboratory. Demonstrate core ideas such as acceleration down a plane, friction, potential and kinetic energy, electrical conductivity, magnetic fields, wavelengths and velocity of sound, and more. Durable educational materials are designed for heavy use with consistent levels of handling, and all models are easy to use.
Ward's® Variable Standing Wave Generator
An exciting, interactive exploration, this generator includes various mass attachments to investigate degrees of string tension in standing waves.
CENCO® String Vibrator
Unit consists of a sturdy metal frame carrying a DC motor with an eccentric shaft for exciting the vibrations. Clamp the frame to a table, attach a string and then simply use masses and a pulley to put tension on the string.
CENCO® Complete Pendulum Set
Bring your physics equipment into the 21st century with the new CENCO complete pendulum set.
CENCO® Acoustic Resonance Apparatus
Bring your physics equipment into the 21st century with the new and improved CENCO physics acoustic resonance apparatus.
Pendulum Clamp
This sturdy clamp is invaluable for experiments involving energy, motion, acceleration, and more.
Boomwhackers Tuned Percussion Tubes
Boomwackers are brighly colored plastic tubes tuned by length to musical notes.
Plastic Spring Wave
Observe phase reversal at the fixed end of wave pulses with this spring used to test waves in fundamental and multiple vibrations.
