Back to 3B - Wave motion
PIRA index: 3B10.31

Description

A series of metal bars are fixed together in a row such that moving the end bar will cause the others to move as well, creating a transverse wave motion. The end of each bar has a small sticker which glows in the dark to better demonstrate the wave motion.

Equipment

  • transverse wave motion apparatus

Instructions

Gently lift the end bar then return it to its resting position to create transverse waves.

Keywords

transverse wave motion, metal bars, glow in the dark
