Internal Energy
A summary of internal energy with example calculations and links to related topics.
Total Internal Reflection - The Critical Angle
A lesson on Total Internal Reflection which extends into the detailed mathematics.
Hyperphysics - Holography
Production, properties and history of holograms with useful internal links.
Enthalpy
A short summary of this thermodynamics topic including internal energy, Helmholtz and Gibbs free energies.
Total Internal Reflection - Periscope
Single page from a larger site which explains how a periscope works.
Refraction, Snell's law and total internal reflection
A concise but detailed explanation of refraction. Clear diagrams and worked examples, some harder than others.
Calculation on the H1 molecule using a subminimal FSGO basis set
This page is a Java Scripted calculator that estimates the stability of the hydrogen molecule taking the users guessed values of the internal H-H bond length.
Adiabatic Process
An adiabatic process is one in which no heat is gained or lost by the system. The first law of thermodynamics with Q=0 shows that all the change in internal energy is in the form of work done.
Critical Angle
Information on critical angles with links to information on total internal reflection.
Refraction and the Ray Model of Light
Useful information driven site which provides details on both how light exhibits the phenomena of reflection and refraction (including total internal reflection).
