Quantum Mechanics Physlets Lab

Welcome to the Quantum Mechanics Physlets Lab

This lab consists of a number of Physlets. Physlets are are small Java applets created by the Davidson College to simulate physics problems. There are five sections to this lab. You can move from section to section using the previous and next links at the top of each page. Work through each part and prepare a lab report with your results.

• Part 1: Traveling Waves
• Part 2: Wave Interference - Extra: Group Velocity Demo

Wave Functions and Probability

• Part 3a: Energy Diagrams
• Part 3: Infinite Potential Energy Wells
• Part 4: Finite Potential Energy Wells
• Part 5: Understanding Probability
• Part 6: Wave Functions and Probability
