Ejs Transverse Wave Model
written by Juan Aguirregabiria
edited by Wolfgang Christian
The Ejs Transverse Wave model displays the motion of a transverse wave on a string.  The simulation allows an arbitrarily polarized wave to be created.  The magnitude of the components of the wave and the relative phase between the components of the wave can all be changed via sliders.  You can modify this simulation if you have Ejs installed by right-clicking within the plot and selecting "Open Ejs Model" from the pop-up menu item.  

Ejs Transverse Wave model was created using the Easy Java Simulations (Ejs) modeling tool.  It is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive.  Double clicking the ejs_ehu_waves_transverse.jar file will run the program if Java is installed.  Ejs is a part of the Open Source Physics Project and is designed to make it easier to access, modify, and generate computer models.  Additional Ejs models for wave motion are available.  They can be found by searching ComPADRE for Open Source Physics, OSP, or Ejs.

Please note that this resource requires at least version 1.5 of Java (JRE).
