130. Rudnick's String

is a longer, thicker string driven by a speaker. Hence, the driving frequency as well as the string tension can be varied. The equation v = (f/m)1/2 can be checked with either demonstration. This demo stretches across the front of the lecture hall to illustrate standing wave modes.
