About this app
Wave Interference is an interactive high-school physics simulation for exploring how waves combine and change. Adjust the path difference to compare constructive and destructive interference, vary the harmonic number to examine standing waves, and change source speed and elapsed time to observe Doppler wavefronts.
Use cases
- High-school students studying wave interference
- Teachers demonstrating constructive and destructive interference
- Learners exploring nodes and antinodes in standing waves
- Physics practice involving the Doppler effect
Features
- Adjustable path difference with separate wave and resultant-wave visualizations
- Constructive, destructive, and intermediate interference states
- Standing-wave display with adjustable harmonic number and visible nodes and antinodes
- Doppler simulation with adjustable source speed and elapsed time
- Guided missions for each of the three physics topics
