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.
A laboratory double-slit assembly; distance between top posts is approximately 2.5 cm (one inch). Near-field intensity distribution patterns for plasmonic slits with equal widths (A) and non-equal widths (B). In 1967, Pfleegor and Mandel demonstrated two-source interference using two separate lasers as light sources. [60] [61]
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.
PhET Interactive Simulations is part of the University of Colorado Boulder which is a member of the Association of American Universities. [10] The team changes over time and has about 16 members consisting of professors, post-doctoral students, researchers, education specialists, software engineers (sometimes contractors), educators, and administrative assistants.

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.
For example, simultaneous simulation of the physical stress on an object, the temperature distribution of the object and the thermal expansion which leads to the variation of the stress and temperature distributions would be considered a multiphysics simulation. [2] Multiphysics simulation is related to multiscale simulation, which is the ...
[2] Let x 1 and x 2 be the vector positions of the two bodies, and m 1 and m 2 be their masses. The goal is to determine the trajectories x 1 (t) and x 2 (t) for all times t, given the initial positions x 1 (t = 0) and x 2 (t = 0) and the initial velocities v 1 (t = 0) and v 2 (t = 0). When applied to the two masses, Newton's second law states that
In a simulation this may be implemented by using small time steps for the simulation, using a fixed number of constraint-solving steps per time step, or solving constraints until they are met by a specific deviation. When approximating the constraints locally to first order, this is the same as the Gauss–Seidel method.
