(CBS) - The "pendulum wave effect" is a well-documented phenomenon that has been demonstrated in numerous classrooms around the world... but have you ever watched it with a black light and music? No?

Because a pendulum's oscillation frequency depends on its length, not its mass, you can use different colored bowling balls for a pretty effect. By Francie Diep Published Sep 8, 2014 7:20 PM EDT Get ...

We’re used to seeing pendulum waves generated on tiny scaffolds with itty-bitty balls. But as this awesome demonstration points out, the same physics applies even at the largest scales. The key to ...

For this project I show how to make make a pendulum wave, an interesting science/physics experiment where a series of pendulums is measured so that each one moves slightly faster than the one before ...
