Standing Wave Physics Demonstration

Right-traveling Wave (Incident)

Left-traveling Wave (Reflected)

Standing Wave (Superposition)

Harmonic Number (n): Determines antinodes

Amplitude (A): 1.0 m

Wave Speed (v): 20 m/s

Fixed String Length (L): 10.00 m

Wavelength (λ = 2L/n): 20.00 m

Frequency (f = v/λ): 1.00 Hz

Period (T = 1/f): 1.00 s

* Nodes: Points with consistently 0 amplitude (yellow dots).
* Antinodes: Points with maximum amplitude (green dots).
