Wave Form, Helix
Wave Form, Helix (Product Code: SLE/PHY/319) is a long, close-wound steel wire spring used to demonstrate transverse and longitudinal waves across a classroom floor or bench in school and college physics. Its 20mm diameter coils close to about 3 metre and stretch to approximately 9 metre, giving pulses room to travel slowly enough for students to follow. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Wave Helix Used For?
Stretch the helix along the floor between two students, or hook one looped end to a fixed point. A quick sideways flick sends a transverse pulse along the coils, while a sharp push along the axis sends a longitudinal pulse of compressions and rarefactions, the same pattern as a sound wave. Students can then watch pulses reflect from a fixed end, see how two pulses pass through each other, and set up standing waves by shaking one end steadily.
As part of a wave motion kit for schools in India or abroad, the long 9 metre stretch is the key advantage: pulses travel far enough to time with a stopwatch, and changing the stretch shows how tension affects wave speed. Never let a stretched helix go suddenly, and keep the coils from tangling or kinking, as a kinked steel spring does not recover its shape.
OEM Manufacturer
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, manufactures the Wave Form, Helix as the original equipment manufacturer. It is wound and finished at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and sold directly by the maker to schools, colleges, dealers and importers instead of through a trading house. That means quotations, repeat orders and replacement requests all come back to the factory that made it. See our company profile for more.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the Wave Form, Helix?
The Wave Form, Helix has a closed length of 3 metre and extends to approximately 9 metre. Its coils are 20mm in diameter, and the long working length gives pulses enough distance to be followed by eye and timed across a classroom.
Can the Wave Form, Helix show both transverse and longitudinal waves?
Yes. Moving one end of the Wave Form, Helix from side to side sends a transverse wave along it, while pushing and pulling along its length sends a longitudinal wave of compressions and rarefactions, similar to how sound travels.
What are the looped ends of the Wave Form, Helix for?
The looped ends of the Wave Form, Helix let a student hold it securely or hook it over a fixed point such as a clamp or door handle. Fixing one end is useful for showing how a pulse reflects and inverts at a fixed boundary.
How should the Wave Form, Helix be stored?
Let the Wave Form, Helix close up gently rather than releasing it while stretched, keep the coils in line so they do not tangle, and store it dry to protect the steel wire. A kinked or overstretched helix loses its even spacing.
Who manufactures the Wave Form, Helix?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) manufactures the Wave Form, Helix as the OEM at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy it directly from the manufacturer for India and international markets.
