Phase velocity of standing waves with Cobra SMARTsense

Article No: P2133669

A linearly polarized standing transverse wave is generated on a rubber band with a square cross-section by means of a vibration generator. The wavelength is determined as a function of the excitation frequency. Then the phase velocity of the cable wave is changed by changing the tensile stress. The relationship between the phase velocity of the rope and the tension on the rope is investigated. With the help of a stroboscope the standing wave can be displayed even more impressively.

Key Features

Very illustrative way to watch the propagation of waves including damping, couping, standing waves and many more
Slow propagation speed allows an excellent observation in particular with a stroboscope
