Reflection in a Plane Mirror – Physics Video Tutorial
How can students differentiate distinctly the angle of incidence from the angle of reflection? Where can they locate the normal line? Important key concepts on how mirror reflects light are clearly explained in this video. created by Teacher Candidates in EDCP 357 using Camtasia software in December 2016 as part of an in-class assignment supported […]
Law of reflection: the distance between a mirror and a virtual image – Physics Video Tutorial
Is there an experiment that can help convince our students that the distance between a virtual object to a plane mirror is exactly the same as the distance between the object and the mirror? Students can directly observe how a virtual image is positioned in relation to the actual object in this brief and concise […]
Ideal gas laws and the workings of an ancient Chinese toy – Physics Video Tutorial
Is there something out there that is much older than Galileo’s thermometer? Is there a simple toy that can simply explain thermal expansion, Ideal gas laws, and at the same time contest the thermoscope of Galileo Galilei? Watch Dr. Milner-Bolotin as she introduces one of her best souvenirs from her trip to China. created by […]
How optical fibers work – Physics Video Tutorial
Optical fibers are indispensable in modern telecommunication, computer networking, etc. due to their total reflective properties. But how do we assist students to visualize how optical fibers exhibit total internal reflection? Watch this video and be informed. created by Teacher Candidates in EDCP 357 using Camtasia software in December 2016 as part of an in-class […]
