Plots the wavefronts of a moving sound source and shows the Doppler effect.

Plots the first four energy levels and eigenfunctions of an infinite square well potential energy.

Shows the motions and energies of an undamped, underdamped, and overdamped oscillator.

Shows different polarization states and the effect of quarter-wave plate and half-wave plate on polarized light.

Shows the dispersion of light by a prism. The rays for three different wavelengths are traced.

Shows the image formed by a positive (converging lens) by tracing two rays.

Shows the image formed by a negative (diverging lens) by tracing two rays.

Plots the far-field normalized intensity diffraction pattern of a single slit.

Plots the far-field normalized intensity diffraction pattern of two slits.

Plots position, speed, acceleration, and jerk of electron accelerated by constant force.

Plots the trajectory of a point on the edge of a rolling wheel.

Plots the x-component of the position of a point on the edge of a rolling wheel versus time.

Plots the y-component of the position of a point on the edge of a rolling wheel versus time.

Plots the velocity components of a point on the edge of a rolling wheel along with the velocity vector versus time.

Plots the motions of the projectile and the monkey in this classic projectile motion demonstration.

Plots the trajectory of a projectile launched from (0,0). Enter target height, target distance, and launch speed.

Plots the height versus launch angle for a target horizontal distance.
