Fixes to the Stroboscope Experiment simulation

ByFarid Minawi February 22, 2023April 2, 2023

Since the frequency of the slow apparent motion in the stroboscope experiment varies depending on various factors that are not taken into consideration in the simulation, an essential change has been made to the code of the Stroboscope Experiment simulation to address the frequency of this apparent motion in the observation remarks.

Also, the programming that determines how the spot and blurring circle appear has been changed to produce more realistic behavior.

Charging by Induction Simulation

ByFarid Minawi March 30, 2022December 4, 2024

Using this simulation, you can experience the phenomenon of charging a metallic ball by induction in the first stage and charging the ball by contact in the second stage after the charged rod touches the ball. The displayed charges are for an illustrational purpose, and they are not seen in reality. You can disable the display of charges on the rod and on the ball.
In this simulation, you can try two situations, one in which the rod is positively charged and another in which the rod is negatively charged, and you will see that the two situations result in the same observation.

Phase Difference Between Sound Waves Simulation

ByFarid Minawi October 2, 2022December 4, 2024

With this rich simulation, you can visualize and measure the phase difference between two sound waves using two microphones connected to an oscilloscope. Moreover, you can determine the speed of sound in air by measuring the distance between the two microphones when their waveforms are in phase, taking into account the frequency of the sound wave that is controlled by the sine wave generator.
