Classroom Projects
- Java Appletes which run on internet
browsers for Classroom use. Included are "Linear Fitting for Data
Analysis", "Photon Interference Applet", "Oscilloscope Simulator", "Central Force Planetary Motion",
"Energy Level calculations for the Alkali Elements", "Geiger Counter, and "Gamma
Detectors".
- Click on booting for easy directions
for making boot diskette's, CD's, and USB flash drives in DOS and Linux.
- Student written Programs which run
on PC-type computers. Both the source and executable codes can be
downloaded and run. Included are Pascal source codes for the
Atwood Machine, "Gaussian Peak Fitting" and other
data analysis programs.
- Gamma spectrum data taken with the
physics departments 3 inch NaI detector. Data include calibration sources
and soil samples to be used by students.
- Germanium Detector gamma spectrum
data taken with the physics departments Ge detector from Canberra.
- Heartbeat interval data for the Cal Poly
Arabian Horses and humans.
