Description:

Use the linear motor to drive standing waves on a rope attached to a post standing ~10 yards away. Find the first harmonic and then show that its integer multiples are also standing waves. Some estimate frequencies are marked on the motor.

Location:

  • Linear motor: Sh. C4
  • Stand for the motor: Sh. I0
  • Rope: Dr. 45
  • Post/Stand for Post: In front of Sh. O
