3D40.20-Singing Rods

3d4020singing_rods

Description: This demonstration shows standing waves within a metal rod.
Hold the rod in the middle in one hand, and with the other hand already covered in rosin powder, grab one end and
slide your finger along the rod using a fair amount of grip force.
Some rods are also marked at fractions of the fundamental frequency. Some points do not allow for standing waves, while others
allow for only specific frequencies.

Note: Using the rosin powder is highly recommended.
