(Select the text we are using, then use the “Jump to” drop-down menu to choose a chapter.
If that doesn't work, choose the previous edition, the black one.)
Some of the material in Chapter 14 about waves can be illustrated by simulations. Here are some that I will use: .
Reflection of waves on a string, with fixed or free boundaries.
Superposition of waves for several cases.
Types of waves and others in directory
Transverse vs. longitudinal waves - directory
Fourier synthesizer with sound.
Ripple tank simulation (you can add a second source to see interference)
Ripple tank simulation (add your own sources and move them around)
