About PlaneWaves APK
Table Of Contents
Description
This simple app lets you visualise the superposition of plane waves. You can tap to create and move markers representing wavevectors, and see the resulting intensity and/or phase change.In mathematical terms, a plane wave is a the function exp(ikr), where r is your position (in this case, a point on the 2D plane) and k is a wavevector, describing a kind of rate of change of the wave. i is the unit imaginary number, and the function as a whole gives a complex number at every point. When multiple plane waves are placed on top of one another, they interfere to create light and dark areas, and the complex phase may create interesting patterns.
In physical terms, you can think of each wavevector being a slit in a Young's slit experiment. Adding more wavevectors is the same adding more slits (plus some other conditions). With just two, you see a classic set of superposition fringes, but with more you begin to see phase vortices and a much more complex pattern. With enough wavevectors, the field appears random.
The visualisation is implemented using GLSL shaders, and the app is written in python using kivy (no java!). It is intended as a simple demonstration of kivy's shader ability, as well as a neat physics/maths toy.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
