Abstract
This article describes a demonstration, suitable for elementary physics, to show the transition from the particle to the wave approach. Standing waves in a continuous string are approximated by particles fastened to a much lower density or "massless" string. The agreement between the continuous and discrete systems is good, and the wave approach is shown to be only another way of describing systems.
