• Resumen

  • Readers of this journal will perhaps remember that I have long been interested in wave machines. Transverse waves are easy for students to visualize; for most of their lives, they have seen transverse water waves, waves on jump ropes, etc. However, despite the fact that every piece of information that they hear is delivered by longitudinal waves, they cannot visualize them. This article is devoted to various ways to illustrate longitudinal waves with various wave machines.
