Animated Pulses in Mathematica
On this page are links to
animated gifs made from Mathematica animations. Check out the
Mathematica notebook
(version 7)
and make your own!
Clicking on a link will start the animation on its own page.
- Half-cycle pulses, both
"upright". Notice how the slope in the center
is always zero.
- Upright gaussian
pulses and
wider ones.
- Half-cycle pulses, one
"upright" and the other inverted. Notice that
the center point always stays at zero.
- Inverted gaussian
pulses and
wider ones.
- Full-cycle pulses, mirror
images.
Notice how the slope in the center
is always zero.
- Full-cycle pulses, inverted
mirror images.
Notice that
the center point always stays at zero.
Try to predict what will happen!
- Triangle pulse
on string with free end.
- Triangle pulse
on string with fixed end.
- Triangle pulses
on string, mirror images.
- Triangle pulses
on string, inverted mirror images.
These last two are 400KB files.
- Continuous waves
intersecting, forming standing waves.
- Continuous waves
intersecting, forming standing waves (initially inverted).

suggestions are appreciated.
