Progressive Waves - Transverse And Longitudinal

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.
