Due:
E-Learning Tue 5/19/20: Wave interference- Enrich/simulation
Assignment
I have changed the assignment for today, because I was not happy with the pHet simulation I had planned to use. I have included another short simulation that I think may be more helpful for understanding wave interference. It is included in the Enrich document below along with other questions about wave interference.
Please complete the attached document and submit a copy for credit. Let me know if you have any questions. Have a great day!
