Apparatus for Demonstrating the Propagation of Waves
Product Code : SCL-PLE-12381
The Apparatus for Demonstrating the Propagation of Waves (SKU SCL-PLE-12381) is a wave machine for longitudinal and transverse waves. A series of metal rods is carried on eccentric discs that turn on a handle: the straight rods produce a transverse wave and the bent rods a longitudinal wave, so students can watch both types travel across the 450 x 200 x 300 mm apparatus. JaincoLab supplies it for school and college wave lessons.
Specifications
The apparatus measures 450 x 200 x 300 mm and consists of eccentric discs carrying a series of metal rods that turn on a handle, with bent rods for longitudinal waves, two aluminium pulleys and a vibrator of 15.6 mm diameter listed for 0-6 V.

Applications of the wave machine for longitudinal and transverse waves
The apparatus is used when wave motion is introduced, because it shows in slow motion how particles move in transverse and longitudinal waves while the wave itself travels along the machine.
- Showing the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves
- Identifying crests and troughs, compressions and rarefactions
- Showing that the medium oscillates while the wave travels
- Introducing wavelength, frequency and wave speed
- Wave and sound lessons in secondary-school and junior college physics
