Activity 1: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Wave Interference - Slits

Put up a barrier to see how the waves move through one or two slits, and discover the resulting interference pattern. Determine how to change the pattern by adjusting the slit width and separation. Predict the location of the interference maxima and minima, and verify your predictions. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 3: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Clebear's Class Waves

Have you ever wondered how submarines can move within the sea? How are phone calls made? How does a microwave work? How can the voice break a glass? How do tremors occur on the surface? You will see all this and more in a fun, practical and interactive way in Professor Clebear's class. Understand the concepts and you will be ready to test your knowledge with simple mini-games that will help you understand how waves work in our daily lives.
