to our 2123 at Guelph Univerisity Radiation ,Intensity of solar radiation
,Blackbody radiation from the earth ,Functions ,Oscillating
functions ,Sin as a function of time ,Example of a sawtooth wave,
Travelling wave ,Travelling wave problem ,Simple harmonic motion
,Simple harmonic motion ,Damped simple harmonic motion ,Damped
harmonic motion problem ,Superposition ,Superposition of waves
,Superposition of waves to produce standing waves ,Superposition
of travelling waves (beats)
THE PRINCIPLE OF SUPERPOSITION An excellent example of what an interactive
Java applet can be. One could build a set of tutorial questions
and tests around an applet like this, or use it as a live
illustration during a lecture.
Vibration
and Waves Animations The
links below contain animations which visualize certain concepts
concerning Vibration and Waves (sound and light).The choice of
animations coincides with topics covered in the courses PHYS-230,
Physics III: Waves, and PHYS-580, Acoustics, Noise, and
Vibration, which I am currently teaching at GMI.
