Vibrations and waves

Terms, formulas, and an interactive lab: a thread pendulum and a spring pendulum with sliders for the length, the mass, the stiffness and the amplitude, an animation of the swinging body and the graph x(t); a travelling wave with sliders for the frequency and the speed that give the wavelength and the graph y(x); an echo from a barrier in air, water and steel that gives the distance by the time of the sound's return.
