Ripple Tank Interference
Three vibrating sources fill a pale ripple tank with crossing waves and still nodal lines, until the waves fall into step inside the letters. The word surges out as bold moving stripes: physics-class elegance for science and audio brands.

Tool-agnosticAnimate the word [TEXT] in a ripple tank seen from above, like the light pattern projected under a physics-class wave tank. Three small coral vibrating sources drift slowly around the edges, each sending out circular waves; where they cross they form a shimmering interference pattern with still nodal lines, rendered as deep teal troughs and white crests on pale aqua. After a moment the waves fall into step inside the letterforms of [TEXT], set in a heavy grotesque sans: there every wavefront bends into one strong traveling plane wave, so the word appears as bold high-contrast moving stripes amid the gentler interference around it. Hold, then let the waves drift out of step and the word dissolve back into ripples.
