Mechanical Wave Accessories Bundle
Affordable accessories for hands-on resonance and wave studies
The Mechanical Wave Accessories Bundle makes harmonic motion, resonance, and wave behavior demonstrations affordable and accessible for all physics classrooms. This curated bundle brings together essential mechanical wave accessories that pair with a wave driver system, allowing students to explore standing waves, resonance patterns, and wave modes through clear, hands-on experiments.
Required (not included):
- Signal Generator (recommended: Sine Wave Generator P7-2000)
- Wave Driver (recommended: Mechanical Wave Driver P7-1000)

Descriptions of What’s Included in the Mechanical Wave Accessories Bundle
This value pack includes a versatile set of tools for exploring mechanical waves and resonance:
- Chladni Plates, Sand & Shaker
At specific resonance frequencies, standing wave patterns form on the plate, pushing sand away from vibrating regions and revealing intricate nodal patterns unique to each frequency. - Resonance Wire Loop
Demonstrates standing wave patterns at resonant frequencies and serves as a powerful analog model for introducing Bohr’s quantum atom. - Metal Resonance Strips
Show how resonant modes depend on length. As frequency increases, shorter strips reach resonance and visibly oscillate. - Longitudinal Wave Spring
Makes longitudinal waves easy to see by clearly showing compressions, rarefactions, nodes, and antinodes. - Transverse Wave String & Accessories
Ideal for demonstrating standing transverse waves, harmonics, and wave speed relationships.
The Mechanical Wave Accessories Bundle is designed to work seamlessly with a sine wave generator and mechanical wave driver. If you’re looking for an all-in-one solution that includes those components as well, the Mechanical Wave Complete Bundle may be the better fit.
