Transverse Wave, 3B10.30
Location: * L.S Ingersol Physics Museum Front of Room

Setup:
- Function Generator
- Pasco Driver
- Torsion bars all connected by wire
Cautions, Warnings, or Safety Concerns:
- Do not lean on apparatus
Demonstration: The function generator communicates a wave function to the Pasco driver. The driver then torques on the wire that connects all the torsion bars. The bars then move in the characteristic wave motion with the set frequency and amplitude from the function generator. This device allows the person to visually see wave motion and how the distinct properties of frequency and amplitude affect the wave's motion. A damping option can also be set on the wave generator.
