About This Product
Turning the handle sets the rods moving so students can see frequency, amplitude, wavelength and phase difference as a physical pattern. Comparing the two wave types side by side shows how particles vibrate across or along the direction of travel, and changing the crank speed links frequency to wave energy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Wave Motion Apparatus show both kinds of wave?
Yes. It demonstrates both transverse and longitudinal wave patterns in a single mechanical frame, driven by a hand crank.
How is the wave frequency changed?
By turning the hand crank faster or slower; the manual speed sets the frequency of the wave shown.
