About this Simulation

This simulation allows learners to explore multiple representations of waves, including displacement, velocity, and acceleration graphs. By adjusting amplitude, frequency, and wavelength in real time, students observe how changes in wave parameters affect visual representations and understand the relationships between different ways of describing wave motion.

Learning objectives: Understand how amplitude, frequency, and wavelength define wave properties | Interpret and connect displacement, velocity, and acceleration representations of waves | Investigate the mathematical relationships between different wave variables
