Module 1: Wave Motion and Optics
Ripple Tank Simulator
Here you’ll find a simulator demonstrating interaction between waves in a ripple tank. Provides 3-D imaging and multiple source/frequency support. This is a great substitute for a ripple tank if you can’t access a physics laboratory.
Wave Interference Simulator
Make waves with a dripping faucet, audio speaker or laser. This simulator depicts wave interaction and resultant nodes/antinodes.
Sound Visualization with Fire
Watch this demonstration of a standing wave using a Ruben’s tube. Then see how different kinds of music affect the flames.
Synthesizers and the Doppler Effect
What does the Doppler effect have to do with making music? Explore sound waves and synthesizers with this article.
Advanced Lens/Mirror Simulator
This simulator includes support for exact number crunching, as well as both converging and diverging mirrors and lenses. A great way to check your work!
Applications of Mirrors and Lenses
This site provides explanations of several applications of mirrors and lenses.
Thin Lens Simulator
This is a simulator for thin lenses, both converging and diverging.
