About This Product
Paired with a stretched string, the vibrator sets up standing waves that let students relate frequency to wavelength. It also serves resonance and string-vibration practicals, where the pattern shifts as tension or length is altered. Enquiries from Cyprus, South Korea, Namibia, Bahrain, Botswana and Mongolia for the Vibrator receive an export quotation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can be attached to the Vibrator?
A string, elastic cord, spring or other wave medium is attached to the vibrating arm or attachment point, with the far end fixed or connected as the experiment requires.
