This site is designed as a convenient location for our visitors to view the various Java tutorials that were constructed to aid in teaching concepts in light and color. Click on any of the Blue Titles to play with the applets. The ones particularly relevant to PHHS physics classes are those on Mirrors, Lenses, Diffraction, and Interference.
These notes constitute a general, non-calculus introductory physicscourse. They are based on lectures given through the IUN/FYDE distance education program of the University of Winnipeg, which provides access to universitylevel courses for communities outside of Winnipeg. Thematerial covered comprises the introductory course Physics 1301 offered at the University.
A website for A Level Physics to help students gain a better understanding of the subject. While the syllabus and content are customised to the Singapore context, it is a straightforward lecture series for what is called the H2 Physics syllabus. Physics laws and concepts are presented in a simple and straightforward manner. The math is kept minimum but there is enough there to get started. The best part is that at the end of each unit is a 10 question quiz, with solutions and explanations.
This is the Home page of both Honors and AP Physics.
A large collection of GIF animations and QuickTime movies designed to demonstrate physics principles in a visual manner. Each animation is accompanied by explanations and links to further information. Supplements and complements The Physics Classroom Tutorial.
A collection of pages which feature interactive Shockwave files that simulate a physical situation. Users can manipulate a variable and observe the outcome of the change on the physical situation. Supplements and complements The Physics Classroom.
Virtual experiments on a variety of topics. You need your login and password to use it.
This page provides a comprehensive listing of all topics for which Resource Lessons have been written. Clicking on a topic's name will display the titles of the lessons that are available on that topic. Clicking on a lesson's title will take you to the lesson. There are also pages of self-checking worksheets and practice problems.
More than hundred applets covering various areas of basic physics. The ability to manipulate different variables to see the effect on other variables makes it a very useful site.
PY105 is an algebra-based introductory physics course at Boston University taken primarily be pre-medical students, life science majors, and rehabilitation therapy majors. This course covers the first half of a typical introductory physics textbook, including topics such as kinematics, forces and Newton's Laws, energy and momentum, rotation, harmonic motion, fluids, heat and thermodynamics, and sound and waves.
PY106 is an algebra-based introductory physics course at Boston University taken primarily be pre-medical students, life science majors, and rehabilitation therapy majors. This course covers the second half of a typical introductory physics textbook, including topics such as electric and magnetic fields, circuits, optics, and some modern physics.
This is a collection of Physlets, iPhone Apps, and Easy Java Simulations to accompany the Boston University courses.
8.01 is a first-semester freshman physics class in Newtonian Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, and Kinetic Gas Theory. In addition to the basic concepts of Newtonian Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, and Kinetic Gas Theory, a variety of interesting topics are covered in this course: Binary Stars, Neutron Stars, Black Holes, Resonance Phenomena, Musical Instruments, Stellar Collapse, Supernovae, Astronomical observations from very high flying balloons (lecture 35), and you will be allowed a peek into the intriguing Quantum World. You can view them at this link, or you can download them for free at iTunes U
This course features a complete set of videotaped lectures. The 36 video lectures on Electricity and Magnetism, by Professor Lewin, were recorded on the MIT campus during the Spring of 2002. Prof. Lewin is well-known at MIT and beyond for his dynamic and engaging lecture style.
In addition to the basic concepts of Electromagnetism, a vast variety of interesting topics are covered in this course: Lightning, Pacemakers, Electric Shock Treatment, Electrocardiograms, Metal Detectors, Musical Instruments, Magnetic Levitation, Bullet Trains, Electric Motors, Radios, TV, Car Coils, Superconductivity, Aurora Borealis, Rainbows, Radio Telescopes, Interferometers, Particle Accelerators (a.k.a. Atom Smashers or Colliders), Mass Spectrometers, Red Sunsets, Blue Skies, Haloes around Sun and Moon, Color Perception, Doppler Effect, Big-Bang Cosmology.
In addition to the traditional topics of mechanical vibrations and waves, coupled oscillators, and electro-magnetic radiation, students will also learn about musical instruments, red sunsets, glories, coronae, rainbows, haloes, X-ray binaries, neutron stars, black holes and big-bang cosmology.
To add some spice to this world of precision, this corporation commissioned Rand Kruback to create his artistic view of some common Electrical Engineering terms and phrases.
University of Nebraska-Lincoln professor of physics Dr. Tim Gay talks about basic physics concepts that play an important role in football. This can also be downloaded for free from iTunes U.
