"Waves"

Bring wave behavior to life with a complete generator and driver setup.

Create adjustable wave demonstrations for frequency and vibration lessons.

Show relationships between frequency, length, tension and mass

Mechanical representation of a sine wave signal.

These long-lasting aluminum tuning forks have a full sound.

How Does Mass Affect Transverse Waves?

Students create and observe waves and their properties.

Introduce students to different standing waves.

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.

This self-contained apparatus explores wave velocity.
