Dragonfly Flight: Waves and Wing Movement

This three-part demo allows participants to use several senses to learn about wave phases, wave superposition, and constructive and destructive interference. Participants build moving wave models, do a phase shift dance, and visualise interference with ropes. 

This demo pairs well with Dragonfly Colours: Thin-Film Interference, Dragonfly Sight: UV Light and Electromagnetic Waves and Transverse and Longitudinal Waves. This demo is part of the 2024 SOCK, The Wonders of the Dragonfly.
