3B10.10-Transverse Pulses and Waves
Video: Watch this demo
Description: This demonstration visually shows a transverse pulse or transverse waves.

To show waves, just move it up and down several times.
Note: The pulses in the spring may propagate too quick for students to see. The string is recommended.
