G3-06: SHIVE WAVE MACHINE - IMPEDANCE MATCHING
- ID Code: G3-06
- Purpose: Show that no reflection occurs when the impedance of the load (absorber at right) matches the impedance of the wave machine.
- Description: Adjust the impedance of the absorb-o-matic to eliminate any partial reflection of the incoming wave. The impedance of the absorb-o-matic can be changed by adjusting the string tension.
