Items for Teacher Tips

[arouinfar]

For #1

• Apparent interference pattern in the screen - Apparent interference pattern on screen for single source #171
• Intensity curve is not perfect - Why is the interference graph so noisy? #163
• ?theory - Check the accuracy of d sin(θ) = mλ and document how to easily check it in the future #74
• Plane wave source is generic - How should we depict the plane wave sources? #54
• Absorbing boundary conditions - Low frequency water shows significant reflection artifacts #197
• Nature of plane wave model and changing amplitude - On interference screen and slits screen, add "amplitude" slider directly under the frequency slider. #210
• Spatial averaging in graph - Add spatial averaging for the chart overlay #137, Jagged curves on graph when frequency is high #234
• Color mapping - Asymmetry in wave and readout #142
• Black background for light - Light view should return to black. #258
• Temporal step size - Unify step size across scenes #226
• Screen & intensity graph are time-averaged - Light screen has too long of a temporal window for averaging #208
• Light amplitude is attenuated so it is parallel to other scenes, though blackness is used to represent a vacuum, so no attenuation would technically occur. Given length scale of lattice (a few wavelengths) you wouldn't expect to see much attenuation of light, even in an absorptive medium.
• Lattice resets (or partially resets) when barrier moves, source separation changed, frequency changed (slits/light) - When barrier is added, clear lattice to right of barrier #176, Rapidly changing the source separation wrecks performance #316, When changing the plane wave frequency, clear the wave area to the right of the wave (like we do for light) #309

Note to self: The legacy sim does not have a Teacher Tips document.

I'll edit this comment as I think of/encounter issues which will need to be documented in the Tips. Marking as status:on-hold until this sim gets closer to publication.

Since we're nearing the Jan 31 deadline, I'll remove status:on-hold.
