 | Click on the Java logo and you will be taken to the home page of a Physicist who creates Java applets. You will be able to run his simulation to get a better idea of the relationship between distance, velocity and time. |
|
| This is an applet by IBM which demonstrates friction, motion and gravity. Click on the button that comes up. |
|
| This link opens up a new window which contains an interesting demonstration of the independence of horizontal and vertical motion. |
|
| This is an interesting applet which lets you set up an orbit. The orbit will follow all three of Kepler's laws. |
|
| This applet at the NASA home page illustrates Kepler's first law. Move the bar on the right side of the applet to change the distance that the satellite is from earth. Don't get too close! |
|
| This applet is also at NASA but it shows us Kepler's third law. We can position the orbiting mass anywhere and watch it circle the earth. |
|
| Click here to be taken to a home page with an interactive electricity applet. It is fairly compley, but you should be able to see how fields and charges interact. |
|
| Click here to be taken to a home page with a great java experience. You can place charges and then the program will draw lines which let you see where the field would be. |
|
| Click here to observe the motion of a charged particle in a magnetic field. |
|
| Click on this logo to see how Total Internal Reflection works. Be sure to "shine the light" near to the edges of the applet window. |
|
| Click on this logo to see how a lens converges light. |
|
| Click on this logo to see how a lens diverges light. |
|
| Click here to see how diffraction works. Blue and Violet light have very small wavelengths, and red light has a very large wavelength. To change the amount of diffraction, adjust the wavelength and the gap size. (Just like in Jean Fresnel's equation!) |
