Description
This workshop will comprise two different projects.
The first half of the workshop will focus on constructing a standing wave generator that can demonstrate the fundamental frequency or first harmonic, and many of the consecutive harmonics. Also, forced nodes, nodes, antinodes, different wavelengths and frequency can be easily demonstrated using this standing wave generator. These physics concepts are clearly shown, and your students will love when these wave characteristics are shown using this easy-to-use device.
Participants in the second half of the Make-and-Take workshop will construct a laser communication device. Using this device and a receiver amplifier (not included) is a fantastic way to show how information is transmitted from point to point using light. Application of this method of transmitting data today using total internal reflection and fiber optics will be demonstrated.
This workshop is limited to twenty participants.
