🌊 Wave Physics

Objective: Explore wave physics through a 2D wave equation solver. Create ripples, observe interference patterns, and see how waves diffract around obstacles.

Controls:

Click anywhere on the water to create a wave at that point
Drag across the surface to create a wave wake
Ripple: point source waves | Double Slit: interference pattern | Obstacle: waves around barriers | Plane Wave: straight waves
Frequency slider controls how fast waves oscillate
Damping controls how quickly waves fade out
Speed slider controls wave propagation speed
Touch: tap to create waves

Rules: This simulation solves the 2D wave equation using finite difference methods. Waves spread from sources, reflect off boundaries, diffract around obstacles, and interfere with each other. The double-slit experiment demonstrates wave-particle duality with clear interference fringes.

Generate and manipulate wave patterns. Create interference patterns by combining multiple wave sources. Visual physics demonstration of wave mechanics and superposition.
