3B10.11: TRANSVERSE WAVES ON A LONG SPRING - FREE END

PURPOSE: To show reflections at a free end.

DESCRIPTION: A string holds one end of the long tight spring to the clamp on the lecture table. Because the string is long, and light compared to the spring, this forms a free end for the spring, allowing the end of the spring moves when a wave approaches.

SUGGESTIONS:

REFERENCES:

EQUIPMENT: Long tight spring with string at one end with clamp.

SETUP TIME: None.
