Flat section steel wire in helical coil. Diameter 75 mm.

Flat section steel wire in helical coil. Diameter 75 mm.

This wave machine, which comes in kit form and must be self-assembled, is designed to demonstrate the theory of waves. The kit comprises: transverse wave machine with 80 arms spaced on nylon line with detachable weights to provide an example of transverse wave propagation in which movements of the rods create the waves; Two loaded elastic cords to illustrate transverse wave motion; An extension spring with weights, for the propagation of both longitudinal and transverse waves; teacher's book which describes the experiments and gives detailed quantitative analysis.

A Slinky-type spring for wave demonstration, with a wooden storage stand. Stand helps protect the spring in storage and keep it in good condition. Closed Spring Dimensions (Dia. x L): 72 x 220 mm. Base Dimensions (L x W x H): 150 x 150 x 355 mm.
