Apparatus for Demonstrating Waves with Elastic Springs
Product Code : SCL-PLE-12382
The Apparatus for Demonstrating Waves with Elastic Springs (SKU SCL-PLE-12382) provides two long wave demonstration springs for showing longitudinal and transverse waves. The larger spring is 8 cm in diameter and extends up to 5 m; the smaller spring is 2 cm in diameter and extends to 1 m. Stretched across a bench or the floor, the springs let students see pulses and waves travel and reflect. JaincoLab supplies them for school and college wave lessons.
Specifications
The set consists of two springs: spring 1 is 8 cm in diameter, 13 cm long when closed, extends up to 5 m and weighs 0.6 kg; spring 2 is 2 cm in diameter, extends to 1 m and weighs 0.5 kg.

Applications of the wave demonstration springs
The springs are used to show how waves travel through a medium: pushing and pulling one end along the spring gives a longitudinal wave, and moving it sideways gives a transverse wave.
- Demonstrating longitudinal waves with compressions and rarefactions
- Demonstrating transverse waves and pulses
- Showing reflection of a pulse at a fixed or free end
- Setting up standing waves by shaking one end at a steady rate
- Comparing wave behaviour on the large and small springs
