Waves, Optics and Quantum Mechanics Virtual Laboratory
To understand the fundamentals of wave phenomena in Mechanics and Optics and the probabilistic nature of Quantum Mechanics through the following interactive experiments:
- Mechanics at macroscopic and microscopic scales .
- The relationship between Fraunhofer diffraction and Fourier transform through optics and its application to spatial frequency filtering (image processing).
- Quantum uncertainty principle through single-slit diffraction.
- Unique properties of a laser and its use as a measuring instrument.
- Unifying aspects of classical and quantum mechanics through optics experiments.
- Difference between classical and quantum results through Young’s double-slit experiment and the harmonic oscillator.
- Intriguing quantum phenomena of wave-particle duality, uncertainty and quantum tunnelling.
- Structure of the atom and atomic spectrum through quantum mechanics of the hydrogen atom.
