An interactive resource on diffraction, interference and superposition with descriptions, animations, and questions.

One of the most fundamental principles of archaeology is the Law of Superposition. This website provides a diagram showing you the Law of Superposition.

A simulation that displays the time evolution of the position-space wave function using the Circular Well Eigenstate Superposition model.

Using a cake analogy, this activity teaches concepts such as: geologic time, rock layers, fossils, Law of Superposition, and relative dating. Activity can be modified to grade level and appropriate content for students,

Interactive demonstration provides students with an introduction to Quantum Physics. They will also be introduced to wave/particle duality, Heisenburg Uncertainty Principle, superposition, Schrodinger's cat, and wavefunction.

Learn how to make measurement of energy eigenstates and their superpositions in quantum mechanics. Tutorial and exercises are included.

After a study of the principle of original horizontality and the law of superposition, and how to determine the ages of rock layers and how they are formed, students go on a field study to observe and gather information about rock...

A simulation that displays the 2D evolution of the position-space of a wave in an infinite 2D rectangular well.

In this interactive tutorial students will learn about electric potential and the principle of superposition. They will discover how superposition applies to electric fields and how electrostatic potential energy relates to electric...

Physiclips thoroughly presents the concept of interference with animations and film clips. Learn about linear superposition, beats, and consonance in this learning module.

In this interactive tutorial students will explore how a magnetic field affects a current-carrying wire and also how two current-carrying wires affect each other. They will learn about Biot-Savart, Ampere's Law and the magnetic field...

A physics course web page that features a Java applet in which visitors can observe the waveform resulting from the interference of two waves. The amplitude and wavelength of the interfering waves can be altered and the outcome observed.

By looking at an outcrop, students make observations and prediction about Earth's history in this activity. Students will also make hypothesis about the past environment based on the observations from the outcrop.

A detailed set of exercises (downloadable) that guide students in developing an understanding of how scientists have created the geologic time scale.

This is an in-depth activity where students create a rock layer formation using different colors of playdough and investigate the types of folds and rock formations that might occur. They take core samples through anticlines and...

Students learn the basic properties of light--the concepts of light absorption, transmission, reflection and refraction, as well as the behavior of light during interference. Lecture information briefly addresses the electromagnetic...

Learning about charge and forces of attraction will be keys to understanding electrostatics and the basis of this learning unit. Developing a greater understanding of charge and the charge model is necessary to understanding electricity.

Extensive information about how waves behave in an elastic medium. Covers different types of waves, their characteristics and behavior, the anatomy of the ear, the speed of sound in different media, the parts of a wave, and wave phenomena.

A lengthy scholarly article that discusses the geologic time scale, its history of development, age-dating events that occurred in different eras, and how absolute and relative dating are used to assess the ages of the Earth and Moon....

This is a list of 18 questions covering the major concepts in Chapter 16: Oscillatory Motion and Waves from the AP Physics online text.

This page provides a summary for each section of Chapter 16: Oscillatory Motion and Waves from the AP Physics online text.

Extensive information about the geology of the Grand Canyon. Looks at some principles of geology evident there, forces that have shaped its geological features, how its valleys and canyons were formed, the characteristics of the Colorado...

This site was created by two geoscientists. They explain the Principles of Geology. These are general rules, or laws, that are used to determine how rocks were created and how they changed through time. They are also used to determine...

This set of activities from the Milton J. Rubenstein Museum of Science & Technology has students investigating how relative dating and absolute dating methods are used to determine the age of rocks and fossils.
