Wave Parts
A diagram of a wave, with labeled parts. Includes an interactive window in which the user can change the frequency of the wave.
How Wave Pools Work
Explains a variety of concepts related to making waves in water.
Doppler Effect Activity
This shockwave activity shows the way that waves originate from a single moving source, and provides a link to the same activity using two sources.
Longitudinal Wave Activity
See how the particles move, and the graphs for acceleration, velocity and displacement when the sound frequency is changed in this activity.
Radio Transmission
Learn about the different stages of radio transmission, how radio waves are emitted, and the difference between AM and FM radio.
Doppler Effect Demonstration
A Java applet showing the how wave fronts cause the effect.
Doppler Radar is a Key Forecasting Tool
Find out how the Doppler effect is used to read the weather, and how it can be used in short term weather prediction.
