In the applet above, the bottom waveform results from the sum of the two waveforms above it. These are traveling waves - to see them move, click Forward. You have various controls which you can use to measure the properties of the top wave f(x,t).

Question:  What wave g(x,t) will form a standing wave when added to f(x,t)? 

Submit your answer, and it will be displayed. Assume all readout in SI units.


Enter the following properties for g(x,t):

Amplitude:

velocity m/s

wavelength m
