Oscillator Chain JS Model
written by Wolfgang Christian
The EJS Oscillator Chain model shows a one-dimensional linear array of coupled harmonic oscillators with fixed ends. This model can be used to study the propagation of waves in a continuous medium and the vibrational modes of a crystalline lattice. The Ejs model shown here contains 31 coupled oscillators equally spaced within the interval [0, 2 pi] with fixed ends.

The Oscillator Chain JS 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.
