Interference
The site gives an interactive demonstration of interference by using two circular waves to form a constructive interference
Interference of two Circular or Spherical Waves
Java Applet showing two-source interference, with lines of constructive and destructive interference drawn
Electron Interference
A well described page explaining electron interference. There is a very good multimedia example of this effect - showing the interference pattern produced by firing electrons through two slits.
Two-Slit Interference
The site demonstrates a two-slit interference in which the slit separation and wavelength of the light is vary to get the interference.
Interference Experiments
A nice page explaining the various properties of wave interference effects.
Interference (Applet)
Allows production of interference patterns by moving applets with a mouse.
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".
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!
Interference or Refraction?
The mathematics of refraction in materials with non-uniform optical densities leading to path differences and interference.
