Pulse Interference
Visualize constructive and destructive interference between traveling wave pulses.
Pulse Race
Race two wave pulses through different media to see how tension and mass density affect wave speed. In addition, observe what happen when the medium changes, or the pulse hita a free/fixed boundary.
Wave Comparison
Compare amplitude, frequency, wave speed and wavelength for two traveling waves.
Wave Comparison Challenge
Infinite random practice to test your understanding of wave properties.
3 Waves
Quick warm-up: What is the same about each pair of waves? What is the same about all three?
Electromagnetic Waves
Observe transverse electric and magnetic fields in a traveling EM wave. Adjust polarization.
