Problem
A number of dominoes are stood next to each other along a straight line. A small push is given to the first domino, and one by one the dominoes fall over.
(a) Outline how this is an example of wave motion.
(b) Suggest how the speed of the wave pulse could be increased.
(c) Design an experiment in which this problem can be investigated.
