PHY1013F Physics B for Engineers · University of Cape Town · 2026
An interactive simulator covering travelling waves, wave speed on a string (v=√(T/μ)), standing-wave harmonics for fixed-fixed and fixed-free strings, boundary reflection, and wave power — with a scored 8-question practice quiz.
PHY1013F: Travelling and Standing Waves at UCT is an interactive simulator letting students manipulate amplitude, wavelength, frequency, tension, and density to explore wave behavior on strings, standing-wave harmonics, boundary reflections, and wave power, with an 8-question practice quiz included.
Built from prompt
Build me an interactive simulator for travelling and standing waves on a string for PHY1013F, with sliders for amplitude/wavelength/frequency, tension/density, and harmonic number, plus a practice quiz.
