Simulations
Physics Simulation Library
Each simulation includes an audio introduction and general directions. These simulations are very well designed, and each experiment gives the opportunity to change the parameters, collect data, and interpret various graphs. The simulations include traveling waves, constructive and destructive interference, ripple tank interference, and beats.
