Abstract: This paper is a laboratory report on an experiment conducted to verify the Hooke’s Law and study the properties of longitudinal waves which are formed on a mechanical spring. This has been done by plotting the elongation of the spring against the applied force. The relation between length of the spring and wavelength of the longitudinal wave has also been verified. Wave propagation velocity was also studied.
Keywords: Hooke’s Law, mechanical spring, longitudinal waves, standing waves.
