Description :

This page is designed to help you understand uniform circular motion, simple harmonic motion, sine waves, and phase.
● You can control the progression of time using buttons such as “>”. Pressing “0” will reset the time to zero.
● Use the “f” slider to control the rotation or oscillation frequency. It starts at 100 and can be changed from 50 to 200.
● Use the “v” slider to control the wave speed. It starts at 100 and can be changed from 50 to 200.
● Drag the mouse or touch the wave area on a tablet to see the vibration and phase of the medium at that point.
