Standing wave on a string

Press Play — nodes (grey) stay still; antinodes (bright) oscillate with y = A sin(nπx/L) cos(ωt).

Create standing waves on a string and explore nodes, antinodes, and resonance. Adjust frequency and tension to match harmonics with live wavelength and wave speed data.

Open the interactive simulation to build the scene, press Play, and explore with live measurements and a guided tutorial.
