-Generate Awesome Standing Waves! ​   Classes Used: Phys 153 +An unusual-looking deviceTwo DC motors ​on the end of plastic arms are connected to a center piece with a 3-color LED strobe light and a dials and buttons to control it. A length of string is connected between the two motors

-This demo is capable of showing anywhere from a half wavelength to two wavelengths by adjusting the motor speed and string length in '​Manual'​ modeIf the '​Demo'​ mode is selected, it will put on an impressive light display and go through varying ​strobe light frequencies ​and motor speeds ​Updated on: 09/25/13+
  
 ===== Purpose ===== ===== Purpose =====
  
 +This can be used to demonstrate the appearance of standing waves in a string. Specifically,​ the sort of standing waves that are formed by the spinning of a string. This can also be used to show how strobe lights can shed light on rapidly-changing-but-periodic systems.

 +This demo is capable of showing anywhere from a half wavelength to two wavelengths by adjusting the motor speed and motor separation in '​Manual'​ mode. If the '​Demo'​ mode is selected, it will put on an impressive light display and go through varying strobe light frequencies and motor speeds.
