Waves with Slinky
A virtual slinky was created for this animation. Traveling waves and interference of waves can now be demonstrated on screen. See how two waves in oposite directions interact with one another to form standing waves. Also see how the slinky resonates at specific frequencies.

Resonance with a mass on a spring
This animation demonstrates the phenomenum of "resonance". An object is coupled to a spring and the system oscillates (vibrates). Change the frequency of the source until you reach the natural frequency of the system and you will witness resonance when the amplitude of the oscillation increases dramatically.

Resonance with Pendulums
A number of pendulums on a stiff wire are used here to demonstrate resonance. This is how radio reception works.
