Material Detail

Wave Propagation in a One-Dimensional Crystal

Wave Propagation in a One-Dimensional Crystal

Applet demonstrates how multiple particles, when bound to each other by springs, can propagate a wave. The spring constants and number of particles are user-defined.

Good applet, with a lot of accompanying text. The amplitude of the wave is a
little small, however, making it hard to discern the relationship between the
distance between atoms and the sine wave.
