Wave Train

Description

A simple demo providing visual aid for the sinusoidal motion of waves Classes Used: PHYS 101

1. Lift all the pins up (e.g. tilt the apparatus on its side). 2. Slide the wooden 'track' into the slot. 3. Pull the track out to observe wave. Troubleshooting: the peg bottoms catch on the wood very easily. A quick solution is to apply a layer of tape across the top of the “wave wood” in order to reduce this effect. Updated on 05/30/13
