- Users will need a gas source (Natural or LPG) and a power signal generator to run the speaker.
- Speaker: 20W, 8Ω
- Gas supply Natural gas or Propane (40 millibar max)
- A highly visual demonstration of wave motion.
- Key Stage 4 Physics - Wave Motion: Transverse and longitudinal waves. Describe wave motion in terms of the wavelength and frequency of waves , explaining how these may be measured, that they are transverse, that it is the wave and not the flame itself that travels; explain the relationship between frequency and wavelength.
- GCSE Required Practical: Waves
- A Rubens Tube should only be operated by a teacher or technician. It is not suitable for student use.
- On delivery and before operation, the air holes along the tube should be checked for any obstruction (e.g. dust from transportation/storage). Any blockages can be removed using a thin piece of wire.
