Partial Transmission

 

Partial Transmission Demo Picture

  • Waves propagate down Shive wave apparatus at a rate that depends on rod length. Connect two different Shive wave apparatuses together- one with short rods, the other long. Due to a difference in wave propagation speed partial reflection and transmission occurs at their interface.
  • Use small binder clips to attach apparatuses together.
  • Located in L02, section B2.
