This web page is an interactive physics animation that explores the relationship between displacement and pressure in sound waves. Users can watch two graphical displays to observe how pressure change is produced by oscillations of the wave particles. Action may be viewed in steps or continuous play. This item is part of a larger collection. See Related Materials on this page for a link to the full index of simulations designed by this author to support first semester introductory physics curriculum.
