title: Shive Wave Machine aka: Bell Labs torsional waves |
Description: Bars are mounted on a torsion rod. Raising the end of the bar on either end will cause a pulse to travel along the bars in a nice slow speed. Questions? What happens to a single pulse when it hits a fixed or free end? What happens when two pulses interact? Note that the pulse reflected from the end interacts with the incident pulse. Can the instructor make standing waves? |
