Waves Unit:

Mirrors & Lenses Links: 

• complex (but good) simulation that does all mirror/lens & refraction things

• All 4: Surandraneth's Site

• 3 of 4: Phy classroom's Site:  mirrors & lenses: interactive animation 

• concave mirror (GeoGebra)

• convex mirror (GeoGebra)

• Convex and concave Lens (Geogebra)

Refraction Links:  

• Refraction (PhET)

• Refraction (Fendt)

• Refraction step by step (Fendt)

• Deep water into shallow water! (Geogebra)

Wave Types and Wave Behavior Links:

•  Sound Waves (PhET)

Diffraction:  

• Salford Uni's animation 1st of 4 pages 

Pulses reflected & transmitted: 

• Geogebra (good one) for pulses thick to thin or thin to thick!

•  Surendranath's Site for pulse reflections and thin/thick

Superposition Links:

• Geogebra (good one) for adding/subtracting wave pulses

• Salford Uni's Site

• Surendranath's Site (pulses) 

• interactive site that explains heaps about transverse (and some longitudinal) waves

2 source interference patterns Links: 

• HKNG's (HTML5 or java applet)

• Interference of 2 sources (Geogebra with antinodal and nodal lines)

• Double-slit wavefronts, changeable wavelength and slit separation (Geogebra)

• Double-slit just 2 waves to show path difference idea (Geogebra)

• PHET: water, sound & light 

• Falstad wave tank

• Another interactive ripple tank! (Southwestern College, California USA)
