University of Colorado: Physics 2000: Temperature and Absolute Zero

In this absolute zero worksheet, students experiment with a closed-end syringe and a ice bath and boiling water. They record volumes of gases in the syringe as well as temperatures of the water and they plot their experimental data. They...

We all have standards and scientists are no exception. Presentation covers standard temperature, standard pressure, temperature conversions, and absolute zero. It explains pressure using pascals, mm of mercury, atmosphere, and torr, then...

Do you know the location of the coldest place in the universe? Turns out, it is in laboratories on Earth. While space is cold, radiation heats it up so it is more than two degrees Kelvin. Scientists working on absolute zero have been...

From the Physics 2000 site, this page exemplifies their usual superb discussion of the concepts of heat, temperature, and absolute zero. Using an entertaining series of cartoon characters, the page gives a very understandable discussion...

A thorough, multipage discussion of color and color television sets that explains how an image is formed on the television using red, green, and blue light. Understandable discussion, excellent graphics, and many interactive Java applets.

When atoms are cooled to extremely low temperatures, the atoms begin to act like waves, overlap, and technically lose their identity! In this condensed introduction to the Bose-Einstein condensate, an MIT physicist explains how. Use it...

This is an understandable tutorial which guides the viewer through the innovations which led up to the verification of Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC) in 1995. Follow the "Next," link at the bottom of the page to explore the following...

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.

Several pages with an interesting discussion of the visible light spectrum and atomic absorption and emission line spectrum. Features excellent graphics, thorough and understandable discussion, and many interactive Java applets.

This page and the three pages which follow discuss how X-ray technology can be used to produce an image of the human body. Discussion is understandable and highly intriguing. Several interactive animations allow the visitor to explore...
