Apparatus for Demonstrating the Propagation of Waves
Product Code : JL-GLE-11230
The Apparatus for Demonstrating the Propagation of Waves, SKU JL-GLE-11230, is a JaincoLab wave machine that shows both main kinds of mechanical wave. A row of eccentric discs carries metal rods on a shaft turned by a handle; as it turns the rods rise and fall in sequence to form a transverse wave, while bent rods show a longitudinal wave. The listing also gives a 0-6 V vibrator and a working range of 450 x 200 x 300 mm. Because each rod only moves up and down or back and forth, the model makes it clear that the wave form travels while the medium stays in place.
