After its success on PC and Mac OSX, the collection   Animated Physics   (about 40 interactive programs) starts now on iPad.

Available 

 

Velocity Distribution :

explore the velocities as a function of temperature and mass.

 

Interference :  

see the nodal and ventral lines  as a function of distance between sources, wave length and phase angle.

Electromagnetic Wave : 

explore linear and circular waves with the E and B fields. See the effect of a polarizer.

Vector Product:  

touch and drag one of the 2 vectors and see the result on the vector product.

Electric field of a dipole

see the electric field  at one place, the field lines and the potential produced by 2 charges.

The Eye at Work:  

shows how the eye is working to see close or far objects for emmetropic, myopic, hyperopic and astigmatic eyes. Shows also the effect of the correction lens. Ideal for students and teachers, but also for everyone who wants to understand how the eye is working.

The Pendulum

See the forces, velocity and accelerations. Graphs of angle and kinetic and potential enrgies as a function of time. Vary the length of the wire and see the effect.

The Doppler Effect

The Doppler effect as a function of the velocity of the source or of the observer (exclusive). See the time graphs and the observed period. Quantitative.

The Fourier Series

Add more and more terms of the Fourier series to reproduce 4 different functions.

Lens, mirror and waves

Instead of looking at the work of a lens or a mirror on light rays, see the effect on waves. You will never again look at lenses and mirrors as you did before !!!

 

 

 

 

             

Others coming soon

 

 

System requirements: iPad 2,  iOS 5

Thank you to all who bought my apps. In the next weeks, I’ll upgrade the programs to include a “help” button giving  the meaning of all the buttons and a few words of physics. If you like my programs, I will greatly appreciate if you can let a review on Apple Store. Thank you.
