RadialWave#

Qualified name: manim\_physics.wave.RadialWave

class RadialWave(*sources, wavelength=1, period=1, amplitude=0.1, x_range=[- 5, 5], y_range=[- 5, 5], **kwargs)[source]#

Bases: Surface

A 3D Surface with waves moving radially.

Parameters:

sources (Optional[np.ndarray]) – The sources of disturbance.
wavelength (float) – The wavelength of the wave.
period (float) – The period of the wave.
amplitude (float) – The amplitude of the wave.
x_range (Iterable[float]) – The range of the wave in the x direction.
y_range (Iterable[float]) – The range of the wave in the y direction.
kwargs – Additional parameters to be passed to Surface.

Examples

Example: RadialWaveExampleScene ¶

from manim import *

class RadialWaveExampleScene(ThreeDScene):
    def construct(self):
        self.set_camera_orientation(60 * DEGREES, -45 * DEGREES)
        wave = RadialWave(
            LEFT * 2 + DOWN * 5,  # Two source of waves
            RIGHT * 2 + DOWN * 5,

        self.add(wave)
        wave.start_wave()

Methods

`start_wave`	Animate the wave propagation.
`stop_wave`	Stop animating the wave propagation.

Attributes

`animate`	Used to animate the application of any method of `self`.
`animation_overrides`
`color`
`depth`	The depth of the mobject.
`fill_color`	If there are multiple colors (for gradient) this returns the first one
`height`	The height of the mobject.
`n_points_per_curve`
`sheen_factor`
`stroke_color`
`width`	The width of the mobject.

start_wave()[source]#: Animate the wave propagation.

stop_wave()[source]#: Stop animating the wave propagation.
