In today’s recreational coding exercise, we will simulate the Wave Equation with the Finite Difference method. We will consider a setup of a variant of the double-slit experiment, and explore how this simple numerical method can capture complex physical behavior.
You may find the accompanying Python code on github.
Before we begin, below is a gif of what running our simulation looks like:
