Developer’s Description

By Agopin
Participate in a virtual interactive experiment determining the wavelength of a laser.
The software provides a reliable interface of the actual experiment, where students will interact to determine the wavelength of a laser, counting the number of constructive or destructive interference in its projection on a screen, while the size of one arm of the interferometer is changed. In software you can choose from three colors for the laser. This experiment should be conducted using a script that accompanies it, as in a real experiment. We present a software simulating an experiment in modern physics, to be used in schools where there are no modern physics laboratory, and which also may or must be used in distance education, by some colleges.
