Standing Waves from Travelling Waves

Simulation shows the resulting standing wave created by the superposition of two identical waves travelling in opposite directions. Slider f changes the frequency of the waves (from 1 to 5). Slider t controls time - it can be set manually or run as an animation. The check boxes show or hide the two travelling waves, the resultant superposition and the envelope of the standing wave.
