Gallery item: 2D superposition of water waves

2D superposition of water waves

The image displays the amplitude of water waves as produced by a pair of interfering circular waves originating from point sources. The situation is highly simplified: for instance, the amplitude of each circular wave does not decrease with the distance from the source, as must be the case of a physical water wave.
