A slinky provides a simple system for the modelling of waves.
What is a wave? Most of us think of the waves we see at the beach. The waves come in ...
All waves behave in certain characteristic ways. They can undergo refraction, reflection, interference and diffraction. These basic properties define the ...
In this activity, students use a shallow tray of water to demonstrate wave generation and behaviour.
In this activity, students model how sound travels by sending waves along two stretched plastic slinkies tied together.
