Websites for Physics Simulations & Demos

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the sharing of websites that feature physics animations and simulations. Participants contribute various links and express their enthusiasm for the resources available online.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests information about websites with physics animations, sharing two links they found.
  • Another participant provides a list of additional websites with physics animations, including links to various educational resources.
  • A different participant highlights a specific site, "Visual Quantum Mechanics," as highly recommended.
  • Another link to the "Orbitron" is shared, which focuses on atomic orbitals.
  • A participant mentions a site with Java applets, noting it may not have animations but is still relevant.
  • One participant shares a link to a site they have not yet explored but find intriguing.
  • Several participants express their enjoyment of the animations and applets shared in the discussion.
  • There are repeated mentions of the "Visual Quantum Mechanics" site, indicating its popularity among participants.
  • Another participant emphasizes the importance of reviving only one old thread at a time in relation to the discussion topic.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the value of the websites shared, but there is no consensus on a definitive list of the best resources, as multiple links and suggestions are provided without resolution on which are superior.

Contextual Notes

Some links may not have been thoroughly vetted by all participants, and there is a possibility of overlap with previously discussed resources in the forum.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in physics education, students seeking visual aids for learning, and educators looking for resources to enhance their teaching may find this discussion beneficial.

Hi,

Do you know of websites that have physics animation in them? Tell me about them please!

Rencently I found links to these two in different threads of PF:

http://webphysics.davidson.edu/Applets/Applets.html

and

http://www.kettering.edu/~drussell/Demos.html

There is an awful lot of physics animation out there! Try:

http://physics.nad.ru/
This also has animations of "Science's 10 most beautiful experiments"

http://science.nhmccd.edu/biol/animatio.htm
http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/phys/mmedia/index .

The University of Toronto Physics Dept. has a large number of animations:
http://www.upscale.utoronto.ca/GeneralInterest/Harrison/Flash/

This one is very comprehensive:

http://www.falstad.com/mathphysics.html

http://www.surendranath.org/Applets.html

http://galileo.phys.virginia.edu/classes/109N/more_stuff/Applets/home.html

That is just a few of them.

Here is a great physics simulations site
Physics Animations/Simulations

You should try to revive only ONE old, similar thread at a time.
