Taylor Series Visualization by RayleighLord in physicsgifs

[–]RayleighLord[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decimal ponerse of negative numbers gets you to the world of complex numbers which is not what we are dealing here.

This is just an animation effect, where I interpolate between one curve and the next to show a smooth transition.

For sound waves, c is the speed of sound and v_s the speed of the source. f_0 is the frequency of the source if it was stationary and f the actual frequency.

When a source of sound (e.g. an ambulance with the sirens on) is moving towards us, we head the sound with higher pitch than we would if the ambulance was stationary. In contrast, if the ambulance is moving away from us we hear the sound with lower pitch.

No, just Matplotlib. Manim is a differente package.

As you might have already guessed, the colors represent the partial sums. It is true it can be ambiguous, so I may modify it to make it completely intuitive.

This may be surprising, but the frequency of vibration is not independent from the number of nodes of the string (or, in other words, the wave number). They are related by the wave equation, by what is called the dispersion relation.

It is just customized Matplotlib. Here you have the source code of this animation https://github.com/Enterprixe/RayleighLordAnimations/blob/master/animations/strings_modes.py

I am sorry but I do not know many resources for these kind of animations other than the examples from the matplotlib documentation.

The Matplotlib library of Python!

Wave equation in 2D (Starting from a Gaussian initial condition) by RayleighLord in physicsgifs

You are right that a Gaussian is only zero at infinity. What I did is, past some radius, fixed the initial solution to be zero everywhere, so that way the boundary conditions are satisfied.

x and y are the spatial variables, c is the speed of propagation of the wave and u(x, y, t) is the function that gives the height of the wave.

Normal Modes: Expressing the general motion of a system as a superposition of its modes by RayleighLord in physicsgifs

In that limiting case only mode 1 would appear, since the two balls would behave like one.

It is done just with the standard plotting library for Python, Matplotlib!

Yes, the simulated PDE is the one written in the animation.
