Transverse Wave Propagation on a String

Transverse Wave Propagation on a String

This simulation demonstrates how a transverse disturbance travels along a string under tension. The wave speed depends on the tension and mass per unit length of the string.

Calculations:

Mass per unit length (μ): 0.125 kg/m

Wave velocity (v): 40.0 m/s

Time to travel string: 0.50 s
