written by Wolfgang Christian and Francisco Esquembre

The One-Dimensional Wave Function Superposition JavaScript Model shows how the superposition principle gives rise to wave phenomena such as standing waves and beats. Users enter real-valued wave functions and observe both the time dependent functions and their superposition. This model uses the JavaScript mathematical function parser.

The One-Dimensional Wave Function Superposition JavaScript 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.

4. The Physical Setting

4F. Motion

6-8: 4F/M4. Vibrations in materials set up wavelike disturbances that spread away from the source. Sound and earthquake waves are examples. These and other waves move at different speeds in different materials.
6-8: 4F/M7. Wave behavior can be described in terms of how fast the disturbance spreads, and in terms of the distance between successive peaks of the disturbance (the wavelength).
9-12: 4F/H6ab. Waves can superpose on one another, bend around corners, reflect off surfaces, be absorbed by materials they enter, and change direction when entering a new material. All these effects vary with wavelength.

One Dimensional Wave Superposition JS Model:

Is the Basis For EJSS wave 1d superposition model

Changes:

recreate on a fresh ejss using codes from http://www.compadre.org/osp/items/detail.cfm?ID=13014
use design ideas from http://weelookang.blogspot.com/2010/06/open-source-ejs-superposition-of-2.html
Area of improvement:

cannot figure out how to make a dot that travels on the f(x,t) and g(x,t)
