Mechanical Waves
This visualization demonstrates the behavior of mechanical waves. You can adjust the amplitude, wavelength, and angular velocity of two waves to see how they interact. The green wave represents the superposition of the blue and red waves. Observe how changing the phase shift affects the interference pattern. The black dots represent nodes (points of zero displacement) in the resultant wave.
About this visualization:
- This simulation demonstrates the behavior of mechanical waves and their interference.
- The blue and red waves represent two individual waves, while the green wave shows their superposition (combined effect).
- Adjust the amplitude, wavelength, and angular velocity to observe how these properties affect wave behavior.
- The phase shift control allows you to see how the relative positioning of waves impacts their interference pattern.
- Black dots on the resultant wave indicate nodes, points where the wave has zero displacement.
