About this simulation

Two coherent sound sources create constructive and destructive interference. Frequency and separation alter the path difference. Move the microphone to sample the field; sound speed is an assumed model value.

What students can explore

  • Explore sound wave interference by moving a microphone or plotting intensity along a line.

Learning objectives

  1. 1Explore sound wave interference by moving a microphone or plotting intensity along a line.
