PENDULUM WAVE AND THE EXPERIMENTAL EQUIPMENT a series of pendulums in an optional number the length of each pendulum is chosen by an appropriate mathematical relation the pendulums can shape special formations 2
THE PHYSICAL BACKGROUND : The whole pendulum wave shall return to its starting position in a short period of time. During this time each pendulum swings with different frequency. For example: during the whole period time of the pendulum wave the longest swings 52 times ► the second shall swing 53 ► then 54 and so on . We number the pendulums: i = 0,1,2,3, … n . The pendulum wave consists of n + 1 no. pendulums. Pendulum no. 0 is the longest. 3

PHYSICAL BACKGROUND → according to the well-known connection and the previous formula: l 𝜐 2 , 𝑈 = 2π ∙ g → 𝑚 𝑗 = 4𝜌 2 ∙ 𝑈 𝑗 𝑈 𝑗 = 𝑂+𝑗 in case of given 𝝊, 𝒐, 𝑶 the length of each pendulum: 𝟑 𝒉 𝝊 𝐦 𝐣 → 𝐮𝐢𝐟 𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐡𝐢𝐮 𝐩𝐠 𝐮𝐢𝐟 𝐬𝐩𝐪𝐟 𝐨𝐩. 𝐣 . 𝒎 𝒋 = 𝟓𝝆 𝟑 ∙ 𝒉 → 𝐛𝐝𝐝𝐟𝐦𝐟𝐬𝐛𝐮𝐣𝐩𝐨 𝐩𝐠 𝐡𝐬𝐛𝐰𝐣𝐮𝐳 𝑶 + 𝒋 Demo data: 𝛖 = 𝟘𝟏 𝐭 → the whole period time of the pendulum wave n = 15 → n + 1 = 𝟐𝟕 𝐪𝐟𝐨𝐞𝐯𝐦𝐯𝐧𝐭 / i = 0,1,2,3, … n / N = 52 → no. of swings made by the longest pendulum From these data, the required length of the cordes can be set. 5
THE ACCOMPANYING SIMULATION We need to know every pendulum ’s length and its current angle at any moment. We already know the lenghts. We can find any pendulum ’s angle-time function: 𝛽 𝑢 = 𝛽 0 cos 𝑚 𝑢 . aswell, the requirement is to have Java Runtime Environment 7 to run: http://berzsenyi.hu/Lendvai/ http://java.com/en/ 6
