The other day, MathsWorld tweeted a link to this video showing pendulum waves. These are waves that emerge from viewing a number of uncoupled pendulums of increasing length. If the length of the pendulums are just right, they exhibit travelling waves, standing waves and chaotic motion.
So, I thought I'd simulate the same thing in Flex. The period of a pendulum is easily calculated as:
The application lives here and the source code is available here.
