- Purpose
- To demonstrate how a linearly propagation wave can result from (in this case) a circularly moving medium.
- Location
- room 146, shelf O2
- Description
- This demonstration apparatus makes it easier for students to see how a wave can be transmitted linearly, even though the medium of transmission (a spring here) is executing only circular motion, perpendicular to the direction of propagation. Put the �Traveling Wave Machine� on the overhead projector, turn the hand crank, and watch a transverse wave propagate perpendicular to the direction of the spring�s motion (right photo).
