check out this cool virtual model/ simulator:
stringwave

be sure to try out "oscillate"

I wish I had had this when I was studing Calculus.
I had a very hard time seeing the wave patterns in my head.
This little demo would have made it much easier for me. I ended up majoring in Math, and now it is not much effort to visulise this. But back in the day it seemed a real paradox.

Thanks for the link I'll share it with others that might find it useful as well.

how it works: Reverb Spring, Guitar String, Sound Wave

nitpick - Well, two out of three of them.
Reverb springs and sound waves would be better visualized as longitudinal vibrations (compression & rarefaction) and not as transverse waves.

Too bad you couldn't "wiggle" one of the middle dots, with both ends fixed, for a better guitar string model.

It's still cool though.

No. The frequencies would be way to low anyway.

Ah. Then you'd have an upright bass or cello string.

Perhaps write a program for an iPhone. With it's built-in accelometers you could jiggle it side-to-side and show the compression and rarefaction pulses.

Where does it go at the 'no end' window? I like boundaries. I need to know! I'm scared :paranoid:

Ah, don't be.
It appears to go to Hernandez, New Mexico, as seen in this photo by Ansel Adams:

Possibly not far from Gallup NM, which is the location of The Lost Room. Could that be a window of The Lost Room?
Whoah. Maybe your fear is justified.
