Fourier Synthesis
Sliders on one side allow different amplitudes of different multiples of frequency to be added. The sound can then be played.
Wave Adder
This site is rather complex to use but allows users to set up two waves of a certain amplitude, frequency and wavelength and add them together.
Wave parts
Allows students to look at descriptions of amplitude, wavelength and frequency on a sinusoidal wave. A diagram accompanies each description.
Wave interference
Java applet showing interference between two longitudinal waves, the wavelength and amplitude of each of which can be altered by the user.
Optical interference
Animated diagrams of two superposing transverse waves and their resultant. Wavelength, phase and amplitude are adjustable. Uses the word "interference" instead of "superposition".
Oscillator
Simple Pendulum simulator. Users can vary amplitude, mass, length and gravity of the system to see how it changes the time it takes the pendulum to swing (period).
Interference of Sinusoidal Waveforms
A little program to show the product of interference of 2 waves. The simulation allows the user to vary the wave amplitude and frequency. This is a good very simple to use tool!
Three Dimensional Wave 1
A Java applet of a wave where you can adjust its wavelength, frequency, and amplitude by clicking on the drop down list in the upper left corner, and then selecting one of the choices which appear.
Introduction to Waves
A basic explanation of sound and water waves. The JAVA Applet allows you to change the amplitude of the wave (its height), the wavelength (the distance from one wave top, or crest, to the next) and ...
White Noise
White noise is noise whose amplitude is constant throughout the audible frequency range. It is fairly easy to produce white noise - it is often produced by a random noise generator in which all ...
