With standing waves on two-dimensional membranes such as drumheads, illustrated in the animations above, the nodes become nodal lines, lines on the surface at which there is no …

The Standing Wave Maker Interactive allows learners to investigate the formation of standing waves, the vibrational patterns associated with the various harmonics, and the difference …

Explore the wonderful world of waves! Even observe a string vibrate in slow motion. Wiggle the end of the string and make waves, or adjust the frequency and amplitude of an oscillator.

Aug 21, 2025 · I learned how to use Mathematica to create animations of waves and oscillation phenomena from Dr. Victor Sparrow, my PhD advisor at Penn State. Here is collection of …

In this video, we bring to life the concept of stationary or standing waves through an animated visualization. We explore the phenomenon of nodes and anti-nodes, two important concepts in …

Standing wave patterns at 5 different frequencies are demonstrated. A standing wave animation is shown to understand to how standing wave patterns are created. Nodes and antinodes are …

This simulation is intended to help students better see what is really going on when a standing wave forms on a string or in an air column. Use the buttons to choose waves on a string or …

There are some points of the medium that oscillate with maximum amplitude, called antinodes. A simple animation to understand standing waves.

May 17, 2012 · There are a couple of websites that try to correctly explain what the pictures mean (distinguishing between pressure and longitudinal particle motion): I created the animation …

This animation helps you understand the principle of superposition that leads to the formation of standing waves.
