Standing Wave Demo: Slinky

Is he Peter Parker? 😅

Excellent..!

Amazing! As a musician and a pianist I studied this harmonics stuff at the conservatory, in a subject called Acoustic. But the piano strings vibrate so fast that it is imposible to see this phenomenon. Great video!

My physics prof back in the day was very similar to this one. He always gave his best to make experiments and demonstrations work to replicate the intended results. But as usual, when physics collides with reality, there are often mitigating factors that make the demonstration fail, often spectacularly. But he was always so proud when a complex experiment gave exactly the expected results, even though there were many such mitigating variables in it. That's when the inner kid broke forth in a shining smile and exhilarating satisfaction that could light up a room and infect all students on the rows of seats as well.

Parker has seen the abyss

This is the skinniest (and most useful application of a) slinky I've ever seen.

Parker is absolutely out standing in his field.
I think he might even get a ScD (doctor of standing carefully)

I wonder what material this rope is. It is excelent to do this experiment, most ropes wil dampen out rather quickly.

What a fantastic visual demonstration! thank you.

brilliant demonstration

whyyyyy you need a professor for that, standing waves are something you learn about in 7th grade....

Thanks professor :)

Wow! I am not well educated. But that is great!

I've never seen a slinky with those dimensions.

Wish I had such a good physics teacher!

Parker was thinking about the date he missed with his GF😆

Excellent demonstration of Standing Waves and their Nodes. Much appreciated!
Salomè, und leb wohl!
Mögest Du in das Licht, der Wahrheit, und dem SEIN der Schöpfung leben.

Parker kind of looks like Ryan Gosling

Boring

his driving force is horrible for both of them in the third mode!!!
