Interference of Waves Simulation
This interactive wave interference simulation demonstrates the fundamental principles of wave superposition using two sources. Users can adjust key parameters including wavelength, amplitude, phase difference, and source separation to observe how waves interact and produce complex interference patterns. The simulation features a real-time probe tool that displays individual wave amplitudes and their resultant superposition, showing constructive and destructive interference at different points in the field. The visual representation includes radiating wave fronts from both sources, with characteristic alternating bands of high and low amplitude clearly visible throughout the interference pattern.

Newton’s second law
Newton’s second law states that net force and acceleration are directly proportional, with mass as the constant of proportionality (F=ma). This experiment uses an anvil supported by air pressure to demonstrate that even when weight is counteracted, the anvil’s huge mass still requires enormous force to accelerate it from rest. A powerful illustration of the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.

How a 1-minute simulation changed my career path!
That moment stuck with me. It showed me how powerful simulations can be in breaking down complex ideas. It’s the reason I decided to learn how to develop science simulations to make learning easier for others.
Sometimes, all it takes is one moment to change your path!Conservation of linear momentum
This demonstration explains conservation of linear momentum through cannon recoil. When a cannon fires a bullet, it recoils backward with much lower velocity due to its greater mass, illustrating the inverse relationship between mass and velocity. The post provides complete mathematical derivations showing that total momentum remains constant in an isolated system where net external force is zero.
