Description:

A transverse wave can be seen to travel up and down the length of a wave machine. An end can be fixed so that free end reflections (non-inverted) and fixed end reflections (inverted) can be seen. Different sized machines can be linked to show reflection and transmission at boundaries and density changes (wave is slower in higher density mediums).
