Visualization and Representation of Physical Systems: Wavemaker as an Aid to Conceptualizing Wave Phenomena.

Sadler, Philip M.; Whitney, Charles A.; Shore, Linda; Deutsch, Freeman

Journal of Science Education and Technology, v8 n3 p197-209 Sep 1999

Describes Wavemaker, a simulation environment developed to graphically reveal the behavior of periodic systems using a series of increasingly sophisticated visual tools. Results indicate that the software is helpful in connecting real to simulated systems. (Author/CCM)
