Interference of Waves Simulation
Description:
This interactive simulation visualizes the fundamental principles of wave interference and superposition using two coherent wave sources. Users can manipulate key parameters—including wavelength, amplitude, phase difference, and source separation—to explore how waves interact to form dynamic interference patterns.
Key Features:
-
Adjustable Parameters: Control wavelength, amplitude, phase shift, and distance between sources.
-
Real-Time Probe: Analyze individual wave amplitudes and observe constructive or destructive interference at any point in the field.
-
Clear Visualization: Observe radiating wave fronts and the formation of alternating bright and dark interference fringes, modeled after ripple tank experiments.
Use this simulation to explore core physics concepts like superposition, interference patterns, and phase relationships—ideal for blended learning, flipped classrooms, or remote labs.
