Using very simple physics principles, this program estimates how high you could theoretically vault based on how tall you are and how fast you can run, assuming you had the proper training and optimal efficiency.

Start 10 million light-years from the Milky Way galaxy and wind up face to face with a proton in Florida.

Michael Fowler and his graduate students have written the applets, about 10 in all.

Michael Fowler and his students created these interactive Flash movies illustrating physics concepts.

Shows the relation between wavelength, emitted power, and peak wavelength for a blackbody (Planck's function).

Allows the user to study the electromagnetic spectrum, converting between units of wavelength, frequency and energy.

A collection of sample Java applets which demonstrate various aspects of quantum mechanics, including the Hydrogen atom and Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.

A large, annotated list of physics related java applets (also some VRML and Shockwave stuff) available on the net. Also provides a way to join a list devoted to discussions on development and use of java in physics education and research.

Applet demonstrates Kepler's law.

Educational applets covering irreversibility, chemical kinetics, the second law of thermodynamics, ideal atmosphere, particle in a box (quantum mechanics) and a monte carlo simulation.
