Waves from two sources vibrating at the same frequency will meet up with one another to produce a pattern of nodes and antinodes. Explore this phenomenon with our Two-Point Source Interference Patterns simulation.
Users are encouraged to open the Interactive and explore. For a more directed experience, you could use our
Interference Patterns exercise. The Exercise is designed as a classroom-ready exercise to be used with students.
