About

Get 60 particles together. Connect them by springs. Vibrate the first one back and forth at a regular rate. What do you get? You might be surprised but you're going to have to visit the simulation to find out. The Particle Wave simulation allows you to explore the nature and properties of a wave. Properties such as wavelength, amplitude, and speed can be changes. The effects of the change on the wave pattern and particle motion can be immediately observed.
