Advanced Student Experiments Kit SEK - Mechanical Oscillations and Waves

The  Advanced Student Experiments Kit SEK - Mechanical Oscillations and Waves contains the apparatus needed to carry out a range of experiments for students on mechanical oscillations and waves. Detailed instructions are included on CD-ROM. The apparatus is stored in a strong Gratnell tray and are held in place by foam inserts. 

This kit is available in two different versions to match the voltage of the power source you're using - 230V, 50/60Hz or 115V, 50/60Hz. 230V is the voltage for the UK mains system.
