This JAVA applet solves the time-dependent Schrödinger wave equation for a gaussian wave packet incident on a square barrier or well. The height of the barrier (depth of the well) relative to the mean energy of the...

This website contains the results of a study on student difficulties in understanding energy in quantum mechanics. The most common misconceptions are listed. This content was presented to the 1997 meeting of the AAPT.

This presentation contains the results of a research study on misconceptions students have concerning wave mechanics, which represent an obstacle to learning quantum mechanics. Student thinking on classical wave motion...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concept of wave properties. Students will learn how light waves interact with matter. The activity is "analogous to light traveling...
