-If possible, it would be nice to switch between red and green laser sources to observe the difference on the interference pattern.2026-04-10
-If a capacitance-meter is available, that would be great to measure equivalent capacitances in parallel/series2026-02-20
-I'd like to show some emission/absorption spectra for various elements.2026-04-22
-I'd like the same app as on Monday (infinite square well and more), and I would like to show the atomic orbitals of the hydrogen atom.2026-04-29
-I'd like the PhET simulation of the wave functions and energy levels for a particle trapped in a (quasi-) infinite square well.2026-04-27
-I'd like the EM wave model with the 2 plastic sheets at 90 deg from each other showing the E and B fields2026-03-16
-I'd like the EM wave model with the 2 perpendicular plastic sheets showing the E and B fields on Wed. 3/18, and I would also like to request E+60+40 for my Fri. 3/20 class.2026-03-18
-I'd like the cardboard tube and needles to discuss Gauss'law.2026-02-02
-I'd like a different app showing electric field lines and equipotential lines/surfaces. I remember that Roberto came across one last semester (it even offers a 3d view that makes the analogy with the contour lines on a topographic map easier) but I can't find it in my emails.2026-02-13
-I don't need the strobe.2026-04-24
-Could you also bring the set of needles and wooden blocks with holes to illustrate the notion of flux?2026-01-30
-Can I also get the PhET simulation of the photoelectric effect?2026-04-17
