How It Is Used
As the handle turns, the rod tips move in sequence to form a travelling wave, and turning faster raises the frequency. This wave motion kit for school use shows transverse and longitudinal motion together, while the 0–360° scale lets students read the drive angle and compare the phase of neighbouring rods.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the wave frequency be changed on the Wave Motion Apparatus – 24 Pulleys?
Yes. The rods are driven by a hand-turned rotary handle, so the frequency of the wave depends on how fast the handle is turned.
What does the scale on the Wave Motion Apparatus – 24 Pulleys show?
It is a circular scale marked in degrees of rotation from 0 to 360°, used to read the drive angle and the phase of the rods.
