Harmonic Motion and Wave Links

SOUND LINKS:

Decibels: Site 1; Site 2

Beats: Site 1 - Change the numbers in the equation then hit "new".

Beats: Site 2; ; Site 3; Site 4;

Doppler Effect: Site 1; Site 2

How a Speaker Works (Applet)

Synthesizer - Allows you to add harmonics to see how it change timbre.

Harmonics videos:
Harmonics on metal plates (like we did in class [where the sand stays put are node]).

Reuben's Tube (harmonics in burning gas)

Reflection, Refraction, and Diffraction

Wave Virtual Labs and Simulations - many links to other sites about waves.

Pendulums (*includes energy graphs): Applet 1*; Applet 2*; Applet 3

Mass-Spring Pendulum - Or Version 2

More Good Wave Simulations - a whole page of links. The ones I have visited are REALLY good!

Wave Simulations - The link goes to a longitudinal wave page, but on the left are MANY good links to harmonics and other wave simulations.

Surendranath's Applets- LOTS OF APPLETS - Some will make sense to you...some, not.

Use the Menu at the top, then go to:
Oscillations: Forced Oscillations
Waves: Harmonics, Transverse Waves, etc.

Standing Waves, Beats, Superposition (interference)

Galloping Gertie (Movie) - Tacoma Narrows Bridge Collapses due to resonance.
