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 JS Model  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
W. Christian
Post a comment | Relations
The Double Slit Wave-Particle JavaScript Model demonstrates how matter and light display both wave- and particle-like properties in single and double slit experiments. The simulation…

Byline:
M. Belloni
Post a comment | Relations
The Optical Illusions Package contains JavaScript models that illustrate 4 optical illusions; two involving circles and two involving squares. The illusions are all time dependent,…
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…
