This animation demonstrates a longitudinal wave by means of moving bars.
I realized that if we increase the amplitude of the wave, the bars will eventually start passing through each other, which sounds (no pun intended) like an unphysical scenario.
Does this mean that there is a cap, a maximum amplitude to this simulation? Is there a real world equivalent to this, a maximum loudness?
