Refraction
I made this to show how the speed of the wave could affect wavelength without changing frequency as a lead in to refraction. The only interactive on this one is the buttons to shift medium and angles.
closed end resonance
One of the toughest concepts to show is sound because the mechanism is invisible. I tried to model compression and rarefaction for closed end resonance tube with tuning fork. (speed of sound lab) this one shows displacement and pressure curves
Open end resonance
One of the toughest concepts to show is sound because the mechanism is invisible. I tried to model compression and rarefaction for open end resonance tube with tuning fork. this one shows displacement and pressure curves
doppler effect
This doppler effect involves sound but I added the blue shift to explain light since it was the same general code.
Waves Vocabulary Chart
Students are given a wave vocabulary
term, and asked to write it in their own
words, and draw a picture to represent
the word.
