This demonstration shows transverse standing waves in a string. By oscillating a string at different frequencies, one can view standing waves and different harmonics.
* Equipment seen in the video may vary from equipment used in ND Demonstrations. See information and images below for ND equipment and setup.
Setup:
Place the waves on a string apparatus on the lab table.
Connect the function generator to the apparatus using the banana cables.
