Harmonic Motion

Harmonic Motion is the fundamental motion of all kind of matter as it has been shown that matter exists both as particles and as waves. So an understanding of waves (generated by harmonic motion) is as necessary as the understanding of particle dynamics. This site deals with the wave part of matter in the classical way going gradually towards quantum mechanics. If you have a good link to add to this category, please do so.

Coupled Oscillations - This applet illustrates coupled oscillations of a linear chain of identical noninteracting bodies connected to each other and to fixed endpoints by identical ideal springs. All bodies start from rest, and their initial positions can be set either by sliding them along the track

The Simple Plane Pendulum - This applet illustrates the simple plane pendulum, with or without damping. The user enters the damping coefficient and initial conditions, and the applet animates the pendulum's motion and plots the angular velocity versus the angle. Such a plot is called a phase portrait.
