Detail Page

written by Edward Zobel
This item is a tutorial on the fundamentals of waves.  Topics include wave properties and phenomena, types of waves, wave interference, and more.  The section on interference includes simple animations of constructive and destructive interference, which can be played in slow motion to allow users to visualize the phenomena before attempting more difficult wave simulations.

Please note that this resource requires Java, or VRML Plugin, or Flash.
