G3-51: ROPE WAVE GENERATOR - FREQUENCY VS WAVELENGTH

PURPOSE: To show the relationship between the frequency and the wavelength in a rope stretched with fixed tension.

DESCRIPTION: Keeping the tension in the rope fixed (same weight on hook) and raising the frequency creates standing waves with shorter wavelength (more loops).

SUGGESTIONS:

REFERENCES: (PIRA 3B22.15)

EQUIPMENT: Mounted rope wave generator with weights.

SETUP TIME: None.
