The Physics Series.

MILLIKAN'S OILDROP EXPERIMENT.

A program which simulates Millikan's Oildrop experiment allowing students to determine the charge of the electron.

The oildrop charge and mass are generated by a random number generator. After the student has adjusted the plate voltage to balance the drop this voltage and the oildrop mass can be saved. This data can then be used to determine the charge on the electron.

Data can be printed or saved to disk for use in any popular spreadsheet.

THOMSON'S EXPERIMENT.

This program simulates Thomson's famous “Charge to Mass Ratio” experiment.

Both the magnetic field generated by the coils and the electric field between the plates can be varied.

The values of voltage and coil current required to balance the electron beam can be saved and used to produce a graph, the slope of which is used to determine the charge to mass ratio of the electron.

Data can be printed or saved to disk for use in any popular spreadsheet.

STANDING WAVES IN TUBES.

A program which allows students to experiment with standing waves in open and closed tubes.

This experiment asks students to determine the lengths of tubes for which resonance will occur. If their answer is correct the tube resonates in and plays the appropriate key and displays the standing wave.

The Radioactivity Series.

RADIOACTIVITY - ALPHA PARTICLE SCATTERING:

From NewByte Software

Simulate the work of Rutherford and much more.

Students can investigate the relationships between metal thickness, particle energy, target atomic number and alpha particle back scatter.

The manual provides detailed experiment worksheets, blank tables and graphs.

RADIOACTIVITY - DISTANCE

From NewByte Software

Examine the relationship between radiation levels and distance from various radioactive sources.

Carry out the experiments in either air or vacuum. Background radiation can be screened out.

Radioactive sources include pure alpha, beta and gamma emitters, complex sources and unknowns for student assessment exercises.

RADIOACTIVITY - PENETRATION

From NewByte Software

Examine the effects of placing different barriers between various radioactive sources and a Geiger Tube.

Barrier thickness can be altered and background radiation can be screened out.

Radioactive sources include pure alpha, beta and gamma emitters, complex sources and unknowns for student assessment exercises.
