Shive Wave Machine - Reflection Of Pulses
Purpose
To demonstrate reflection of pulses from fixed ends and free ends.
Equipment
Shive Wave Machine with end clamp.
Suggestions
A pulse generated at one end reflects off the opposite end. The reflecting end can either be free (left alone) or fixed (connected to a clamp).
