addition of pulses
A simple animation to show how two transverse waves (e.g. rope waves) travel "through" each other. Try the various (4) amplitudes and step the frames near the overlap to see the waves add together.

wave addition. This allows you to add two arbitrary sine waves. Each wave is specified by an expression like A*sin(L*(x-f*t)) where A is the amplitude, L is the inverse of the wavelength, and f is the frequency. After you change the preset values (A = 2.5 etc), click on "change" to make that change take effect. To shift a wave by 180°, change the amplitude to its negative. To change phase by 90°, change the sin into a cos.
