Waves made with springs
Waves in spring When the left end of the spring vibrates, the vibration is transmitted to the other end. A spring can vibrate horizontally or vertically. Fixed-end reflection When a wave reflects off a fixed-end, the … more

Waveform and timbre of sound (using mic)
This simulation shows the surrounding sounds as waveforms. Please turn off the silent mode on your mobile device to allow microphone detection. For PC, please allow permission to use the microphone. No voice data is stored … more
Wave Propagation
Reset Wave In science, a wave is a phenomenon in which energy is transmitted through a medium. It is the only energy that is transmitted through the wave. The medium only vibrates but does not actually … more
Tuning Fork and Sound Wave
Tuning fork The tuning fork has a structure that combines the ends of two sticks. When the tuning fork is vibrated, the tuning fork repeatedly approaches and then moves away from each other. The vibration mechanism … more
Photoelectric Effect Experiment
Photoelectric Effect The photoelectric effect is the phenomenon that the electrons pop out when a light beam incident on a metal surface. It can be thought that the energy of light is transformed into the form … more

Diffraction Grating
The diffraction grating is a transparent plate with very narrow lines on the surface. Light (photons) like to go in the same phase. In the same phase, constructive interference occurs. If the phases are different, the … more
Standing Waves in various situations
A standing wave occurs when incoming and reflected waves interfere with each other. It produces a wave pattern that appears to be stationary. Nodes are locations where particles of the medium appear to be at rest. … more
Water Waves
Water Wave When you throw a stone into a calm lake, a circle of concentric waves is created and spreads around. The phenomenon that vibration created in one place spreads to the surroundings is called a … more
Superposition
Superposition and interference of waves Two matters cannot be in the same location. But, two or more waves can be in the same space and at the same time. Throwing two stones into the pond creates … more
