Demonstration Wave Machine Complete Set

How It Works

A series of steel rods is attached at their centers to a torsion wire. When a rod is displaced and released, a wave propagates along the rod. Velocity depends on the torsion constant of the wire and the moment of intertia of the rods.

Wave Demonstration

• Wave Propagation

• Velocity in Different Media

• Wavelength versus Velocity and Frequency

• Reflection at Fixed and Free Boundaries

• Constructive and Destructive Interference

• Standing Waves and Resonance

• Reflection and Transmission at Media Boundaries
