The rods are connected to their neighbors through elastic bands. A few seconds after you begin shaking a rod at one end, the entire apparatus shakes in the form of a "standing wave" - a wave that simply goes up and down without going anywhere.

Notice that some rods shake violently up and down while other hardly move. The stationary rods are called "nodes". The faster the apparatus is shaken, the more nodes there will be.

  • Awesome. Instead of making a video that's 5 seconds long you play the same clip multiple times to make it longer. Directors should do this with feature length films.

  • we did in our physics class...but the wave producer was smaller

  • awesome! :D
