🌈 Slinky Wave 3D Physics Simulation: Longitudinal and Transverse Pulses, Reflection and Standing Waves (2D)
A rainbow slinky on a lab table: send transverse or longitudinal pulses, watch them reflect from fixed, free and absorbing ends, drive standing-wave resonances with a hand-motor and see how a discrete chain of coils disperses waves above its cutoff frequency.
