Waves

Waves of every kind. Each loops seamlessly because a wave is a function of its phase.

Wave kinds

• Sine waveA transverse wave along a line.
• Longitudinal waveCompressions and gaps along the direction of travel.
• Standing waveNodes that stay put and antinodes that swing.
• RipplesCircles spreading on a plane.
• Sonar beamArcs travelling in one direction inside a sector.
• Sonar coneThe same beam as caps of a cone in 3D.
• Spherical waveShells of a sound spreading in 3D.
• Plane waveParallel fronts along a vector.
• InterferenceTwo sources, with the lines where the waves cancel.
• EchoOut, off a reflector, and a weaker beam back.

In scenes

• Radio from a routerArcs above the router; animating the phase moves them outward.
• Sonar and an echoOut, off a reflector, and a weaker beam back.
