more animations?
 


Waves and Particles/Particles and Waves

QM tunneling applet Includes barriers and wells.
Maxwell-Boltzmann velocity distr. applet You may change the temperature and watch the molecules move.
Group velocity applet via beats After I changed a value, it didn't take effect until I reloaded the page.
Rutherford scattering from a Thomson Atom
Rutherford scattering from a Nuclear Atom
group vs. phase vel / beats I need to write a description of this.
Wave packet & the Heisenberg uncertainty principle beyond the scope of this course / doesn't run on my machine!
1-D infinite well doesn't run on my machine
