Cosine Wave

Cosine wave interactive application that allows you to vary three parameters of the cosine trigonometric equation. The parameters that can be varied together with the allowed minimum and maximum ranges are:

  • Amplitude (A): Parameter range [-1, 1]
  • Wave Number* (k): Parameter range [1, 3]
  • Phase (phi): Parameter range [0, 10]

Install Microsoft Silverlight

Instructions

Vary the Cosine wave parameters by dragging the slider controls up and down. To reset the parameter values back to the original settings click on the ‘Reset’ button.

*The wave number is often referred to in physics as the angular frequency.
