Item Animated seal to Joseph Fourier and Isaac Newton(2009-01-20T20:30:33Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animated seal portrays the essence of the common work my Isaac Newton and Joseph Fourier on the decomposition of waves into their sinusoidal components.Item Animation of a two dimensional radial wave on a mesh(2007-12-19T05:03:14Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animation shows the propagation of a radial wave on a two dimensional mesh.Item Animation of simple electromagnetic traveling wave(2007-12-19T05:07:44Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animation shows the propagation of the electric and magnetic field vectors for a polarized electromagnetic traveling wave. The viewer can adjust the viewing angle of the wave.Item Animation of standing wave creation via reflections on a string(2008-08-30T18:58:55Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animation illustrates the process of superposition due to reflection of a traveling wave.Item Animation of the internal waves between layers of water with different densities(2008-08-30T19:36:32Z) Ceperley, PeterThe animation shows the motion of water parcels due to the passage of an internal wave. Internal waves can exist below the surface of water at the boundary between water layers of different temperatures or salinities.Item Animation of the natural phasor of water waves(2008-08-30T19:31:44Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animation illustrates the natural phasor present with water waves.Item Animation of the superposition of waves to form a standing wave(2008-08-30T18:47:37Z) Ceperley, PeterAnimation showing the superposition of traveling waves to form a standing waves for both transvers and longitudinal waves. User can selectively see the phasors involved.Item Animation of velocity potential and streamlines in a water wave(2008-08-30T19:53:42Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animation shows the moving velocity potential and streamlines in a typical water wave. It also shows the motion of the water parcels.Item Animation of waves on a string(2007-12-19T04:51:21Z) Ceperley, PeterAnimation of a simple one dimensional traveling wave. This animation shows a monkey creating traveling waves on a string.Item Animation showing cycloid generation by rolling wheel(2008-08-30T19:16:33Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animation shows the generation of various cyloids by a rolling wheel.Item Animation showing reflection of water waves to form standing waves(2008-08-30T19:05:36Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animation illustrates the use of reflections of water waves to produce standing waves. The reflection coefficient can be varied to produce various mixes of standing and traveling waves. The phasors are also shown. This illustrates the concept of the standing wave ratio used heavily in communication wave technology.Item Animation showing the motion of the velocity potential in a water wave(2008-08-30T19:41:08Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animation shows the velocity potential in a typical water wave and how it moves with the passage of the wave. It also shows the motion of the water parcels.Item Animation showing water motion due to waves in a deep body of water(2008-08-30T19:20:45Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animation illustrates the motion of water parcels due to the passage of a wave in a deep body of water.Item Concept of a mathematical spectrum(2009-01-15T05:34:25Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animation shows the concept of a mathematical spectrum as related to Fourier series.Item Creation of resonance curve(2012-06-10T00:00:00Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animation illustrates the creation of a resonance curve by sweeping the driving frequency.Item Damping of a mass spring resonator(2012-06-10T00:00:00Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animation illustrates the decay of a damped mass spring resonator.Item Diving board as a mass spring resonator(2012-06-10T00:00:00Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animation illustrates the motion of one type of mass spring resonator.Item Hanging mass spring resonator(2012-06-10T00:00:00Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animation illustrates the motion of a hanging mass spring resonator.Item mass on a stalk resonator(2012-06-10T00:00:00Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animation illustrates the motion of one type of mass/spring resonator.Item Mass spring resonator and chart recorder(2012-06-10T00:00:00Z) Ceperley, PeterThis animation illustrates the recording of a mass spring resonator by means of a chart recorder.
