Set to Example: Single Source

1. How do the controls work?
Clear Waves, Stopped, 3-D view, Simulation speed, Resolution, Source frequency
2. Experiment with Examples:
Single Source - normal and 3D view
Obstacle (try to change the size of the obstacle!)
Plane Wave  - what happens to the wavelength if you change the source frequency?
Refraction
Parabolic mirror

Be prepared to explain to class!
