Wave Concepts Game Simulator
AboutAn open source physics at Singapore simulation based on codes written by Andrew Duffy and Loo Kang WEE.more resources can be found herehttp://iwant2study.org/ospsg/index.php/interactive-resources/physics/04-waves
IntroductionWave is an oscillation accompanied by a transfer of energy that travels through medium (space or mass)Waves consist, instead, of oscillations or vibrations (of a physical quantity), around almost fixed locationsThis simulation is on transverse wave where disturbance creates oscillations that are perpendicular to the propagation of energy transfer.The equation for wave is A sin ( wt +kx + ϕ)where A is the maximum amplitude of the wave, maximum distance from the highest point of the disturbance in the medium (the crest) to the equilibrium point during one wave cycle.w is is the angular frequencyt is timek is is the wavenumberx is the positionϕ is the is the phase constant
concepts illustrated in the simulations includeT is the time for one complete cycle of an oscillation of a wavef is the number of periods per unit time (per second) and is related by T = 1/fλ is the wavelengthv is the velocity of the wave travelling and is related by v= f λvtmax is the maximum transverse velocity of the wave particle that occurs at the displacement d =0.
AcknowledgementMy sincere gratitude for the tireless contributions of Francisco Esquembre, Fu-Kwun Hwang, Wolfgang Christian, Félix Jesús Garcia Clemente, Anne Cox, Andrew Duffy, Todd Timberlake and many more in the Open Source Physics community. I have designed much of the above based on their ideas and insights, and I thank the OSP community for which Singapore was honored with 2015-6 UNESCO King Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa Prize for the Use of ICTs in Education. This research is made possible by the eduLab project NRF2015-EDU001-EL021 , awarded by the Prime Minister Office, National Research Foundation (NRF), Singapore in collaboration with National Institute of Education (NIE), Singapore and the Ministry of Education (MOE), Singapore.
