| Waves in a Slinky™ |
A Slinky™ is used to demonstrate transverse and longitudinal waves, reflection, energy dissipation, interference, and plane polarization. |
| Waves in a Wave Demonstrator — Wave Speed, Reflection, and Interference |
Wave speed, frequency, wavelength, and reflection are illustrated with transverse wave motion demonstrators. |
| Waves in a Ripple Tank |
Circular and linear waves in a ripple tank are shown and described, and waves from two point sources are used to introduce interference phenomena. |
| Interference of Sound Waves from Two Audio Speakers |
Sound levels are greatest at separations where sound waves from the two speakers interfere constructively, least where they interfere destructively. |
The simplest forms of traveling waves are transverse and longitudinal waves. Important wave properties include reflection, interference, and polarization.
