Here are links to applets and other information related to the course
 
 

Blackbody Radiation	This Applet lets you see how the universal blackbody curve changes with temperature.  This applet shows you the appearance of the object, the power in the RGB portion of the spectrum, and idicates the visible part of the spectrum on the universal curve.  Patrick Horton brought this to my attention.  It is from Wolfgang Christian's web site a Davidson.
Mikowski diagrams	This Applet let you measure the coordinates in frames S and S' using the Lorentz transformations
Single-photon interference	See some data of single-photons passing through a Young's double slit apparatus collected by some students at Princeton.
Atom interference	See some date of cold sodium atoms interfering
Hydrogenic Wavefunctions	This Applet calculates and displays the wavefunctions for hydrogen-like atoms
Hydrogenic Wavefunctions Notebook	A Mathematica Notebook written by Dan that lets you visualize the electron cloud surround the hydrogen atom.  If you see the Mathematica code in your browser window, save it locally on you computer with the file name hydrogenic.nb.  Launch Mathematica and load the file.  Execute the commands.  Try out different quantum numbers to see how they effect the electron cloud.
