Progressive Waves-Transverse and Longitudinal

Genre: Educational

Year Published: 1953

Creator: Audio Productions

Format: 16mm

Sound: sound

Description: Uses animation to demonstrate the nature of transverse and longitudinal waves. Illustrates simple harmonic motion and identifies its wave length and frequency. Explains the relationship between velocity of waves and the elastic and inertial factors of the medium. Relates sound waves to the principles of longitudinal waves., Introduces the subject of transverse progressive waves by illustrating a pulse being sent down a stretched rope. Shows its velocity of travel to be dependent upon the elastic and inertial factors. Longitudinal wave disturbance is shown by a pulse moving down a row of beads connected by light-weight springs.
