Apparatus for demonstrating waves with elastic springs
Product Code : JL-GLE-11279
The Apparatus for demonstrating waves with elastic springs, SKU JL-GLE-11279, is a JaincoLab pair of wave demonstration springs for showing longitudinal and transverse waves. The larger spring is 8 cm in diameter and 13 cm long when closed but stretches out to as much as 5 m, weighing 0.6 kg; the second is a narrower 2 cm spring, 1 m long and 0.5 kg. Stretched along a bench or floor, a push along the axis sends a compression down the spring, while a sideways flick sends a transverse pulse.
