🪔4 Physics Visualizations That Will Change How You See Waves
From a simple string to a vibrating drum, visualizations of fundamental physics reveal a surprisingly elegant and counter-intuitive reality hidden within everyday phenomena. We've seen that a static string is an illusion of motion, and the force restoring a drumhead acts in a direction we'd least expect.
The life of a guitar note is over in an instant. A quick pluck, a brief shimmer of sound, and then silence. It seems simple, but the physics governing that fleeting moment is a beautiful deception. What if the simple physics governing these everyday phenomena operates by a set of rules that defy our initial assumptions?
This article explores four counter-intuitive truths about wave behavior, each revealed through powerful visualizations of their underlying equations. Prepare to see the elegant and surprising reality hidden within the most common motions around us.
