Wave Motion Lab

1

Basic Waves

Explore transverse and longitudinal waves. Adjust amplitude, frequency, and wavelength to see how they affect wave motion.

2

Interference

See what happens when two waves meet! Observe constructive (amplification) and destructive (cancellation) interference.

3

Reflection

Watch waves reflect off fixed or free boundaries. See how the phase changes on reflection.

4

Doppler Effect

Visualize frequency changes when source moves toward or away from observer. Blue shift = higher frequency!

5

Sound Generation

Enable audio to hear the waves! Higher frequencies produce higher pitched sounds.
