Description

Touch Waves is an educational application helpful for a high-school or university course of wave physics.
It contains animations (some in 3D) illustrating wave physics.

Touch Waves is an educational application helpful for a high-school or university course of wave physics.
It contains not only a memorandum of the basic equations, but it also contains approximately thirty animations (some in 3D) illustrating the various concepts of wave physics.

More than 70 screens of wave physics!

For teachers !! Connect your iPad to a video projector and show the animations to your students in classroom.
List of covered subjects:

Vibration: Harmonic oscillator, damped oscillator, driven oscillator.
Wave on strings: Introduction, reflection and transmission, standing waves.
Acoustics: Introduction, reflection and transmission, Doppler effect.
Optics: Geometric optics, wave optics, polarization, Jones formulation of polarization,
reflection and transmission, interference, diffraction, Doppler-Fizeau effect.

Each section contains at least one animation.

Not bad

I teach a high school physics course and was looking for something to use on my iPad to demo some basic light Ray diagrams. This is ok. Some diagrams run off the screen though. Also, it is not HD, so it is a bit grainy on the iPad. Of course the big limiting factor is that you can't project the images. Would be nice if the developer built in the option to project like Apple's Keynote.

Great app

I've looked at a ridiculous number of apps to use for tutoring college students in physics. This app provides excellent illustrations of so many basic physics concepts and makes seeing the relationships between the equations and the physical phenomena which they describe easy to see. Great job!

Should work but!!M

Help there's no help and it stuck on one screen. It would be nice if it were really in English too.
