Fermat Light Ray Model  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
W. Christian
Post a comment | Relations | Standards
The Fermat Light Ray model shows a light ray traveling left to right through N homogeneous regions with different refractive indicies. Because light travels in a straight line…
Flat Mirror Model  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
W. Christian and F. Esquembre
Post a comment | Relations
The Flat Mirror Model shows two principal rays leaving a candle of height h and striking a flat mirror. The first ray is parallel to the mirror surface and is reflected back on…
Concave Mirror Model  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
W. Christian and F. Esquembre
Post a comment | Relations
The Concave Mirror Model shows three principal rays leaving a candle of height h and striking a concave mirror. The first ray is parallel to the optic axis and is reflected back…
Pinhole Camera Model  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
W. Christian
Post a comment | Relations
The Pinhole Camera Model demonstrates the operation of a pinhole camera. Light rays leaving the top and bottom on an object of height h, pass through a pinhole, and strike a flat…
Double Slit Wave-Particle Duality Model  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
W. Christian
Post a comment | Relations
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…
Fluorescence Spectra  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
D. Brown
Post a comment | Relations
This experiment uses the Tracker video analysis and modeling tool to explore the phenomenon of fluorescence and its application in fluorescent lamps. For each of five different…
Stellar Blackbody Radiation Curves  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
M. Belloni
Post a comment | Relations
The Stellar Blackbody Radiation Curves model simulates the blackbody radiation curve of stars and how this leads to the observed color and luminosity of the star. If a star can be…
Hertzsprung–Russell (H-R) Diagrams  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
M. Belloni
Post a comment | Relations
The Hertzsprung–Russell (H-R) Diagrams model simulates Hertzsprung–Russell (HR or H-R) diagram for groups of stars. The diagram is a scatter plot of steller luminosity vs. stellar…
Blackbody Radiation: Frequency and Wavelength  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
J. Palop
View comments | Relations
The Blackbody Radiation: Frequency and Wavelength model simulates the blackbody radiation curves of Planck both as a function of frequency and as a function of wavelength to allow…
Young Two Slit Interference  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
J. Palop
Post a comment | Relations
The Young Two Slit Interference model simulates the interference pattern of light as it travels through two slits to a screen. This result was first described by Young who used the…
