FisicaOndeMusica: a web environment about wave physics and musical acoustics

The web site http://fisicaondemusica.unimore.it, presented in this paper, was created by the author with the goal to stimulate the approach of young people to the study of Physics. The main concepts of wave physics are illustrated in a non-standard way by means of the joint use of animations, audio samples, texts, and interactive simulations, and many real-world examples mainly in the field of musical acoustics are analyzed. The web environment extends over about 190 web pages including traditional modules, together with more than 1300 multimedia files and interactive simulations.
