Virtual trips to black holes and neutron stars
Images and short films of what you would see traveling through black holes.
Nuclear Isotope Half-Lifes
The site demonstrates the half-life of ten basic nuclei and you can add or subtract a proton or a neutron to the current isotope.
Sir James Chadwick
Sir James Chadwick (1891 - 1974) received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1935 for his theoretical work on the discovery of the neutron.
Rutherford's demonstration
An animated representation of the famous alpha-particle scattering demonstration. You can adjust the frequency of arrival of the particles and observe which make it through and which rebound.
Reflection of Light
Explains law of reflection including interactive Java tutorials. Links to ideas of fluorescence, diffraction, polarization, scattering and virtual microscopy.
Cygnus X-1
Doppler studies of this blue supergiant in Cygnus indicate a period of 5.6 days in orbit around an unseen companion. The mass of the companion is calculated to be 8-10 solar masses, much too large to ...
Nuclear binding energy
Simulation of alpha scattering with several target atoms and binding energy calculations.
Ernest Rutherford
Ernest Rutherford (1871 - 1937) greatest contribution to physics were his investigations into the scattering of alpha rays and the nature of the inner structure of the atom.
Sir Chandrasekhara Raman
Sir Chandrasekhara Raman (1888 - 1970) received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930 for his work on the scattering of light and for the discovery of the effect named after him.
IceCube neutrino observatory
IceCube, a telescope under construction at the South Pole, will search for neutrinos from the most violent astrophysical sources: events like exploding stars, gamma ray bursts, and cataclysmic ...
