Salty Wave Machine

Salt Waves Movie 1

Salt Waves Movie 2

Hi physicists! Take a look at our salt waves we made today.

Watch Salt waves movie 1 and 2 and compare the speed which the poster paper was pulled along the bench.

The frequency of the swinging salt funnel stays the same in both movies.

What can you say about the wavelength of the salt waves as the speed of the poster is increased keeping the funnel frequency the same?

Waves

Posted by Mr Mallon on June 17, 2012

Hi Physics lovers!
Use the simulation above to find the frequency of the passing waves.
Press the UP Green arrow to start the wave motion. Pressing it again increases the wave speed while pressing the down arrow will reduce the speed.
If the waves run out just press the pause button and then the RESET button.
