Detail Page

written by Barney Taylor

This resource contains interactive wave motion simulations for students in introductory physics classes. The various simulations model phenomena such as wave superposition, reflection, and refraction, as well as the interference of waves, the Doppler effect, the superposition of sine waves, and the various intensities of spherical waves.
