ID Code: G3-05
Purpose: Show that a wave will be partially reflected at a point where the impedance changes.
Description: Partial reflection can be produced by (1) linking the two different segments as shown in the photograph, (2) adding weights to the end of a central crossarm to produce an impedance glitch, or (3) attaching the dashpot at a central location and adjusting it for partial absorption of the incoming wave.
