The One-Dimensional Wave Function Superposition JavaScript Model shows how the superposition principle gives rise to wave phenomena such as standing waves and beats.  Users enter real-valued wave functions and observe both the time dependent functions and their superposition. This model uses the JavaScript mathematical function parser.  

The One-Dimensional Wave Function Superposition JavaScript Model was developed using the Easy Java Simulations (EJS) version 5.  It is distributed as a ready-to-run html page and requires only a browser with JavaScript support.
