The physics lab to take with you

You can use the wavelab to show the propagation and interference of waves. This is essential to appreciate the strange concepts of quantum mechanics.

Don’t be afraid if you don’t understand what this is all about. It is about the mathematical simulation of a physical concept. But you can have fun without deep physical knowledge. We provided several color schemes and a real-time control with the digit keys of your mobile phone. And physics is also about having fun with experiments.

Control the wavelength.
