The Double Slit Wave-Particle Duality Model demonstrates how matter and light display both wave- and particle-like properties in single and double slit experiments. The simulation shows a detector screen placed behind an aperture with one or two open slits. Particles (electrons or photons) pass... Platforms: Mac

The Ejs Circumnavigating Pendulum model displays the dynamics of a mechanical oscillator in uniform circular motion. The mechanical oscillator is free to move in two directions. This 2-dimensional simulation displays all the dynamical features of the Foucault pendulum, except for the dependency... Platforms: Mac

The Wang-Landau algorithm, also called the flat-histogram algorithm, can be used to calculate the density of states of a microscopic system. In this simulation, the Wang-Landau algorithm is used to calculate the density of states for a two-dimensional Ising ferromagnet with periodic boundary... Platforms: Mac

The Function Plotting and Data Fitting Model allows you to create customizable plots to interactively explore the properties of up to three functions at a time. When you enter a function, adjustable parameters are automatically recognized, and sliders are created to vary the values of these... Platforms: Mac

This interactive simulation shows an airplane flying at constant horizontal velocity preparing to drop relief supplies to a small island. As captain of the plane, the student must first calculate the release point for dropping the package. As the simulation runs, press the red "+" button at the... Platforms: Mac

The Ejs Two Falling Rods model displays the dynamics of two rods which are dropped on a smooth table. In one case the end point on the table slides without friction, while in the other case it rotates about a pivot point. The simulation allows computing fall times and trajectories. The initial...

The Ejs Three Current-Carrying Wires model is a ranking task exercise involving the ranking of the current magnitudes in three parallel current-carrying wires. The simulation displays the net force on each wire because of the other two wires. You can modify this simulation if you have Ejs... Platforms: Mac

The Falling Cup with Ball model shows a mass attached to the inside of a cup with a light spring. The cup is held upside down with the mass hanging out of the cup, then released from rest. What happens when the cup is released? 1. The mass will extend the spring, like a parachute, due to air... Platforms: Mac

The Ejs Standing Waves in a Pipe model displays the displacement and pressure waves for a standing wave in a pipe. The pipe can be closed on both ends, on one end, or open on both ends. The number of nodes in the standing waves can be changed via a slider. You can modify this simulation if you... Platforms: Mac

The EJS Ideal Gas Expansion model simulates a two-dimensional ideal gas in a square box. This simulation can be used as part of the activity described in "The Statistical Interpretation of Entropy: An Activity" by Todd Timberlake, to be published in The Physics Teacher. In the model, the... Platforms: Mac

Quite possibly the only ticker of its kind out there, George's Expandable Ticker brings together the best of two worlds to create a ticker that can be viewed both sequentially and simultaneously.Some features of this script are:- Uses CSS to control most visual aspects of the scroller, for easy...

This simulation allows students to compare the motion of free falling objects with and without the influence of air resistance. Air resistance is the result of collisions of the object's leading surface with air molecules. On Earth, objects falling through the air usually encounter some sort of... Platforms: Mac

This is a standards-based simulation for grade level 6-9, developed to help students visualize how total energy is conserved in a simple pendulum. It depicts a child swinging on a swing suspended from a stationary point. Students can drag the swing to different heights, then activate the motion.... Platforms: Mac

The Ejs Strange Harmonic Oscillator model displays the motion of two masses connected by a massless rigid rod and the masses may move without friction along two perpendicular rails in a horizontal table. The energy of the oscillator system can be changed via a slider. You can modify this... Platforms: Mac

The Ejs Wave Packet model displays the motion of an approximate wave packet. The simulation allows an arbitrarily wave packet to be created. The default dispersion relation, with the frequency equal to the wavenumber, results in a wavepacket that does not spread. The amplitude, maximum and... Platforms: Mac

The Thin Film Interference model investigates reflection and transmission of light through a thin film. The user can change the thickness and index of refraction of the thin film as well as the incident light wavelength. The Thin Film Interference Model was created using the Easy Java...
