Description

Physlet® Quantum Physics contains a collection of over 200 ready-to-run interactive exercises. These “media-focused” critical thinking and problem-solving exercises are based on carefully designed computer simulations generated in awardwinning Java applets. Physlet® Quantum Physics is based on current educational, experimental, and theoretical research, and gives students an interactive visual representation of the often difficult-to-visualize physical phenomena in quantum physics.

Features

  • Illustrations-Designed to demonstrate physical concepts.

    • Requires students to interact with the Physlet, provides examples of quantum mechanics application, and introduces a particular concept or analytical tool.

  • Explorations-Tutorial in nature.

    • Provides students with hints or problem-solving strategies in working problems or understanding concepts.

  • Problems-Interactive versions of the kind of exercises typically assigned for homework.

    • Challenges students to demonstrate their understanding without as much guidance as is given in the Explorations.

  • Introductory chapter.

    • Guides instructors and students through a tutorial of the basic functionalities of Physlets, and prepares them to complete the exercises in subsequent chapters.
