Description:
This demonstration uses a Slinky spring to show the two different kinds of mechanical waves - longitudinal and transverse.
Description:
The wave machine is used to show how the frequency and the wavelength of a wave depend on one another. Further, when a wave moves from one medium to another, the speed of the wave changes, and the wave machine shows how this affects the wavelength of such a wave.

Description:
In this video, a standing wave on a string has a strobe light flashing on it. With the right frequency, the strobe light can make the string appear bent and unmoving in midair!
