Rainbow Colors
Color and Eye Recognition Visible light has various colors. Light has a different color depending on the wavelength (or frequency). So, how do people perceive color? Cone cells in the eye’s retina recognize color. There are … more
Light & Wave Simulation
Principle of Mirror
Why is the incident angle and the reflection angle the same? ‘Law of reflection’ has the word ‘law’ attached. ‘Law’ refers to a situation in which a natural phenomenon happens repeatedly and without exceptions. In other … more
Law of Reflection
The law of reflection Consider a light-ray incident on a plane mirror, the angle of reflection is equal to the incidence angle. This is the law of reflection. When looking at the end of the head … more
Water Waves
Water Wave When you throw a stone into a calm lake, a circle of concentric waves is created and spreads around. The phenomenon that vibration created in one place spreads to the surroundings is called a … more

Total Internal Reflection and Optical Fiber
Total reflection and critical angle When light enters from a medium with a large refractive index to a medium with a small refractive index, the incident light does not pass through the boundary surface but is … more
Sound pitch and volume
Height and loudness of the sound When we often say that a sound is ‘low’ or ‘high,’ we are referring to the height of the sound. The height of the sound is completely different from the … more
Chord, Just intonation, Equal temperament
This simulation is Works with Edge, FireFox, Chrome, Safari, Opera. does not works with Internet Explorer, Opera Mini. Due to the nature of the program, there may be some beats even in consonant sounds. Chord The … more
Standing Waves on a String
This simulation is works with Edge, FireFox, Chrome, Safari, Opera. does not work withInternet Explorer, Opera Mini. String instrument Since string instruments are tied on both sides of the string, the string’s end becomes the vibration’s … more
Standing Waves on a Drum Surface
The standing wave of the drum In a standing wave, the position of the vibration node or antinode does not move. Since the drum has a fixed edge, the edge becomes the node of vibration. The … more
Standing Wave Synthesis
Reset The standing wave of the drum In a standing wave, the position of the vibration node or antinode does not move. Normally, standing waves are created by overlapping two or more waves. Or it can … more
RGB Color Combination
Three primary colors of light Red, green, and blue are called the three primary colors of light. You can create any color by adjusting the light of these three colors appropriately. red + green = yellow … more
