Phase velocity of rope waves

Principle: A quadrangular rubber rope is inserted through the demonstration motor and a linear polarised fixed wave is generated. With the help of a stroboscope, the frequency and the wave length are determined. Then the phase velocity of rope waves with a fixed tensile stress is ascertained. Subsequently, the mathematical relationship between the phase velocity of the rope and the tensile on the rope is examined.

Tasks:
1.   With constant tensile stress, the frequency f, which depends on the wavelength λ of the wave that propagates itself along the rope. The frequency is plotted as a function of 1/λ. From this graph, the phase velocity c is determined.
2.   The phase velocity c of the rope waves, which depends on the tensile stress on the rope is to be measured. The quadrant of the phase velocity is plotted as a function of tensile stress.
