Introductory Text

Oscillations Laboratory Resonance of a cantilever Resonance of a pendulum Resonance of a mass on a spring Resonance of a plate:chladni patterns The non-linear pendulum
Travelling Waves Laboratory Wave speed on a string Speed of waves at a water-air boundary Wave speed in a streched spring Reflection and transmission of a wave in a string from discontinuities Sound pressure vs distance from source
Sound Laboratory
Doppler Laboratory: Measuring velocities using the Doppler Shift Measurements of relative speeds using circular motion and linear motion. Source on a string. Source and receiver on a bicycle. Source running and walking.
