Standing Waves on a String
Examine how the amount of tension required to produce a standing wave in a vibrating string of fixed length and mass density is affected by the wavelength and the frequency of the wave. This is a hands-on experiment where the student gets to feel the force required to increase the number of vibrating segments.
