| CLASSICAL WAVES | ||
| http://phet.colorado.edu/sims/wave-on-a-string/wave-on-a-string_en.html | University of Colorado PhET Wave on a rope. Nice animation that includes fixed, free and no boundary conditions, with damping. | 02/05/12 |
| http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html | Hyperphysics link (click on "mechanics" -> "periodic motion"). Some interactive things. | 02/05/12 |
| http://www.kettering.edu/~drussell/demos.html | Simulations of various wave phenomena | 02/05/12 |
| http://www.falstad.com/fourier/ | Interactive. Can pick waveform & shift phase, clip, rectify, and see effect on coefficients | 02/05/12 |
| http://modeling.asu.edu/2nd_sem_samples/Wave_movies/waves.htm | Classical waves: Nice movies of reflection and transmission of "slinky waves" at a boundary | 02/05/12 |
| QUANTUM WAVES | ||
| Errata, QM text by McIntyre | Quantum waves: Interactive site that allows numerical solution of energy eigenvalue equation for different potentials via "shooting method" | 02/05/12 |
| http://www.benfold.com/sse/shoot.html | Quantum waves: Interactive site that allows numerical solution of energy eigenvalue equation for different potentials via "shooting method" | 02/05/12 |
| http://www.benfold.com/sse/transgraph.htm | Quantum waves: Interactive site that shows reflection and transmission & tunnelling for different potential barriers (T,R as function of E/V0; manipulate E.) | 02/05/12 |
| http://webphysics.davidson.edu/qmbook/barriers | Quantum waves: Interactive site that shows rwavefunction for series of step potentials and barriers/wells. Re/Im and Amp phase. Very interesting presentation. | 02/05/12 |
| http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/bound-states | University of Colorado PhET Quantum Bound States. Download a jar file. Shows wavefunction, probability density (with time dependence if desired) for several well shapes. Great to play with! | 02/05/12 |
| http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~qmanim/ | St. Andrews University animations of various quantum phenomena. Look especially at #1,7,10,15,16,17,18,19 | 02/05/12 |
