Fill in the parameters as desired. Probably you will only wish to vary the first two parameters, L and M. But I have included the others to allow you to play around some. This form will return a JAVA applet showing a "movie" of a sphere in the oscillation mode defined by L and M, using shades of red and blue to indicate motion toward or away from you, the observer. The red and blue shades indicate amounts of redshift or blueshift.
