EISCO Wave Apparatus Demo Metal Longitudinal and Transverse Motion Advanced

ADVANCED MODEL Wave apparatus demonstration model shows the fundamentals of longitudinal and transverse wave motions HIGH QUALITY INSTRUMENT Made of high quality metal Consists of a number of eccentric discs supporting a series of metal rods revolving on a handle SHOWS MULTIPLE WAVE MOTIONS Handle is rotated to cause a series of cams to rotate which in turn cause a set of 16 vertical rods to rise and fall Their motion follows that of a sine wave vertical motion is caused by circular rotary motion Transverse motion is visible by observing the tips of the rods like a ripple in a water tank or a vibrating guitar string USED TO STUDY RELATIONSHIP A scale placed behind the handle divides the rotary motion into degrees of rotational angle so that the relationship or phase between the rotary and the vertical motions may also be studied EXCELLENT RESOURCE A great way to demonstrate and explain various physics principles
