Phase Difference Between Sound Waves: Rebuilt with New Features
The Phase Difference Between Sound Waves simulation has been rebuilt from the ground up, with new tools that make it more realistic and easier to use in class.
What’s new
- One or two microphones – start with a single microphone to see how a sound wave appears on an oscilloscope, then add the second to measure phase differences.
- Exact measurements – the measurement markers snap to the microphone tips for a precise distance reading.
- Upgraded oscilloscope – DUAL and ADD modes, plus a magnifier whose semi-transparent screen keeps the controls beneath it usable.
- Temperature control – set the air temperature from 0 °C to 40 °C and the speed of sound follows.
- Guided tour – a step-by-step introduction with live demonstrations on the instruments.
Looking for another method? Pair it with Measuring the Speed of Sound: Time-of-Flight and let students compare two independent measurements of the same quantity.
