  2. Young's interference experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young's_interference...

    From a book published in 1807 relating lectures given by Young in 1802 to London's Royal Institution. While studying medicine at Göttingen in the 1790s, Young wrote a thesis on the physical and mathematical properties of sound [4] and in 1800, he presented a paper to the Royal Society (written in 1799) where he argued that light was also a wave motion.

    On the contrary, some constructions in continuous programs (so far only Cinderella and GeoGebra), depend on the number of hidden parameters and in such a way that moving a given point produces a continuous motion of the construction, as a result, if the point is moved back to the original position the result of construction might be different.

  4. Double-slit experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment

    For example, if two slits are separated by 0.5 mm (d), and are illuminated with a 0.6 μm wavelength laser (λ), then at a distance of 1 m (z), the spacing of the fringes will be 1.2 mm. If the width of the slits b is appreciable compared to the wavelength, the Fraunhofer diffraction equation is needed to determine the intensity of the ...

    The GeoGebra Materials platform [11] is a cloud service that allows users to upload and share GeoGebra applets with others. GeoGebra Materials was originally launched as GeoGebraTube in June 2011, and was renamed in 2016. As of April 2016 the service hosts more than 1 million resources, 400,000+ of which are public.

    Wolfram System Modeler's primary interface, Model Center, is an interactive graphical environment including a customizable set of component libraries. Models developed in Model Center can be simulated in the Simulation Center. The software also provides a tight integration with the Mathematica environment. Users can develop, simulate, document ...

    The Hammersley sofa has area 2.2074 but is not the largest solution Gerver's sofa of area 2.2195 with 18 curve sections A telephone handset, a closer match than a sofa to Gerver's shape. A lower bound on the sofa constant can be proven by finding a specific shape of a high area and a path for moving it through the corner.

  8. Dividing a circle into areas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dividing_a_circle_into_areas

    The number of points (n), chords (c) and regions (r G) for first 6 terms of Moser's circle problem. In geometry, the problem of dividing a circle into areas by means of an inscribed polygon with n sides in such a way as to maximise the number of areas created by the edges and diagonals, sometimes called Moser's circle problem (named after Leo Moser), has a solution by an inductive method.

  9. Simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation

    Hybrid simulation (or combined simulation) corresponds to a mix between continuous and discrete event simulation and results in integrating numerically the differential equations between two sequential events to reduce the number of discontinuities. [10] A stand-alone simulation is a simulation running on a single workstation by itself.
