Transverse wave and phase difference

[LeeTl]

This simulation allows learners to
(1) learn that each point on a transverse wave is executing SHM and its motion is perpendicular to the motion of the wave profile
(2) study the phase relation between points on a transverse wave

This is modelled after the longitudinal wave http://ngsir.netfirms.com/englishhtm/Lwave.htm

• Please feel free to post your ideas about how to use the simulation for better teaching and learning.
• Post questions to be asked to help students to think, to explore.
• Upload worksheets as attached files to share with more users.

Let's work together. We can help more users understand physics conceptually and enjoy the fun of learning physics!

it is a very nice simulation!
