This PhET simulation, now available on HTML5, offers multiple tools to explore wave interference in water, sound, and light waves. Users can simulate two waves without barriers, single-slit and double-slit interference, and diffraction patterns created by shining colored lights through different geometric shapes. New tools in this HTML version include adjustable slit width, slit separation, frequency, amplitude, and graphs of E-field vs. position and pressure vs. position.
