Lets see, a 1 to 1/8 foot wavelength sound wave =~1125 Hz to 9000 Hz,
and a 1 foot wavelength RF/Light wave =~983 Mhz to 7.86 GhzHz.
What are you trying to do?

I’m trying to make an inexpensive game-board that will measure positions on this electrically conducting game board as a function of the sum of the amplitude of three electronic waves having an origin at three different positions on the electronic game board. Maybe this could be compared to throwing three rocks in a pond and trying to narrow down the position of a float in this pond according to the amount or rate that the float rises or sinks at particular times as a result of the converging waves. I’d like to hook up the output of each of the wave generators – which has to also connect to the positive power source in order for me to get this thing to work, to game pieces that will connect to pins on a microchip communicating the game pieces’ positions on the game-board as a function of amplitude. I’ve also been looking for ways to vary electrical signals that can be measured as a function of distance by changing the resistive properties of the game board in the “Looking for a sheet that resists” thread in the “Math and Physics” forum. The math involved in analyzing the resulting wave patterns would be a lot more complicated if I had to use a screen instead of a nonporous – hopefully transparent, game-board material. I don’t have time to search, but in case what I’m describing hasn’t been invented, I wrote up the following claims to protect anyone who wants to experiment with these ideas. These claims are not very thorough, and do not guarantee that making this game board won’t infringe on other people’s property rights. Any other ideas of how to make this game board?
