Standing Waves on a Wave Demonstrator

Measuring the Wave Speed on a Wave Demonstrator With information about travel time and distance, the wave speed on a 0.90 m short-rod wave demonstrator can be calculated.
Two Nodes and One Antinode A standing wave with two nodes and one antinode is produced on a wave demonstrator.
Three Nodes and Two Antinodes A standing wave with three nodes and two antinodes is produced on a wave demonstrator.
Four Nodes and Three Antinodes A standing wave with four nodes and three antinodes is produced on a wave demonstrator.
Five Nodes and Four Antinodes A standing wave with five nodes and four antinodes is produced on a wave demonstrator.
Six Nodes and Five Antinodes A standing wave with six nodes and five antinodes is produced on a wave demonstrator.
Seven Nodes and Six Antinodes A standing wave with seven nodes and six antinodes is produced on a wave demonstrator.
Eight Nodes and Seven Antinodes A standing wave with eight nodes and seven antinodes is produced on a wave demonstrator.
Nine Nodes and Eight Antinodes A standing wave with nine nodes and eight antinodes is produced on a wave demonstrator.

The relationship between frequency and wavelength for standing waves on a 0.90 m short-rod wave demonstrator is explored.
