PULSES IN RUBBER TUBING



APPARATUS
 
lead-weighted rubber tubing 202-17-A6
hook 202-17-A6

DESCRIPTION
Stretch out tubing with one end fixed to the wall.  Pluck or chop the tubing to generate a pulse that travels along the tubing and reflects at the wall.


NOTES

Hook one end of rope to a piece of unistrut embedded in the south wall.

Make sure ends are clamped securely so lead shot doesn't end up on the floor.
