Longitudinal Wave
Install magnetic bumper accessories (from PASCO part ME-6952) on six or more
PAScars. Install end stops on the track with the magnetic side toward the center of the
track. Start a longitudinal pulse by displacing one of the carts. The carts will rebound
off each other and the end stops. Oscillate the end cart to keep a longitudinal wave
going down the track.
