Ropes and Spring Attached to Wall

A light rope, heavy rope, and long spring are attached to the wall. Properties of transverse waves including wavelength, frequency, phase velocity, superposition, and reflection may be shown.

Setup

Tie/attach them to the hooks on the lecture hall walls. For the rope, hold it taut and pluck it; that gives you a nice traveling wave.
