One-Dimensional Elastic Collision Simulation
Using this simulation, you can demonstrate the conservation laws in a one-dimensional elastic collision (The law of conservation of linear momentum and the law of conservation of kinetic energy).
Updates to Free Fall Simulation
I updated the graphical user interface for easier interaction and better fitting in the browser. Also, I made a minor bug fix to the code.
Stroboscope Simulation
This simulation is of a rotating disk being illuminated by a stroboscope. You can control the speed of the disk and the frequency of the stroboscope, and see how the white spot on the disk appears. You can check all the cases of stationary appearance and the slow-motion appearance.
Refraction of Light Simulation
With this simulation, you can experiment the refraction of light between air and a transparent semi-disk. You can choose the material of the disk from a list of materials. Also, you can determine the index of refraction of the semi-disk when you apply Snell’s law to measurements you take in the simulation.
Old Simulations
These simulations were made using the Adobe Flash/AcrtionScript. You can download them and run then in Windows.
