Waves on springs - reflection and transmission (NCPQ)

Pulses are sent down a spring to demonstrate reflection from a fixed and free boundary, superposition and the transmission of the pulse from heavy to light springs and light to heavy springs. A big thanks to my students Aimee, Davina and Hannah at Moreton Bay College.
