Wave Phenomena

Diffraction

Young's Experiment and generalized wave interference through an N-slit aperture. This Applet includes N-slit interference and modulation effects from a finite slit width.

Longitudinal, Transverse and waves of a Mixed Type

Visual display depicting the distinction between three types of waves.

Sound

Propigation of sound waves from a moving source

Superposition I

The superposition of two simple harmonic waves. This Applet illustrates superposition, and beat frequencies.

Superposition II

An animated superposition of two simple harmonic waves. This Applet illustrates superposition, beat frequencies, and the distinction between phase and group velocities.

Wavepackets

Wave Reflection

Reflection of a logitudinal wave.
