What's the ratio of the speed of the wave front to the speed of the source?
Two spherical point source waves crossing paths • The teal pattern that emerges is the so-called "beat" envelope, which arises when two waves of equal amplitude interactpic.twitter.com/odLaVOXsPr

i set the wave speed at ω/k = 1 and the speed of the sources to .2, so 5.

Useful for tuning a guitar, as well as quantum mechanics.

I could never get the hang of tuning using beats...

On a tangent....but it reminds me of the double slit experiment. When they switch from wave to particle, I’m Not sure how they “isolate” a single particle though....
