Simple Waves

John Shive explains that pulse propagation on ropes and slinkies shows elementary characteristics of waves, such as different speeds in different media. He uses a torsion bar wave machine to repeat these experiments to demonstrate reflection and other phenomena. For more info on PSSC, its history, and films, visit http://www.afana.org/psscfilms.htm, Shows elementary characteristics of waves by means of pulse propagation on ropes and slinkies. Effects are shown at regular speeds and in slow motion. A torsion bar wave-machine is used to demonstrate reflection.
