Wavelength and Frequency
-
Here are two animations made from NetLogo wave simulations.
-
The top simulation shows waves with a fairly long wavelength.
-
The bottom one shows a shorter wavelength.
-
Notice also that the speed of wave propagation is different in the two simulations.
-
The waves in the top simulation move faster than those in the bottom one.
-
Wave speed is a more complex phenomenon than damping or wavelength.
-
The wave tutorial has some information about this in advanced topics.
