Focus on Waves

Includes interactive models, animated sequences and simulated experiments.

Description

Focus on Waves features 16 interactive topic areas covering the study of fields at the senior physics level.

The software includes interactive models, animated sequences and simulated experiments which are integrated with reference sections where theory is explained and relevant formulae are derived.

Focus on Waves is suitable for use with secondary students ages 14-19.

Features

Students can practice experiments before actual lab work.

Use the program as a revision aid.
