The Human Longitudinal Wave

5 For this experiment, you will need;
  • Ten or more friends

Stand in a straight line, side by side.  The person at one end of the line gently nudges the person next to them, who in turn nudges the person the other side of them and so on.  This is how a longitudinal wave travels.
