Interference of Waves Simulation
Visualize wave superposition and interference patterns in real-time.
About This Simulation
Explore fundamental wave physics using two coherent wave sources. Control wavelength, amplitude, phase, and source separation to create dynamic interference patterns — the same patterns seen in ripple tanks, light experiments, and acoustics. The built-in probe lets you analyze the superposition at any point in the field.
Why the Offline Version?

What You Can Do
- Adjust wavelength, amplitude, phase shift, and source distance
- Use the real-time probe to analyze wave amplitudes at any point
- Observe constructive and destructive interference
- Watch radiating wave fronts form bright and dark fringes
- Switch between one and two sources
Learning Focus
Perfect for understanding superposition, interference patterns, and phase relationships. Replicates ripple tank experiments virtually with greater control and clarity than physical apparatus.
