Direct linkSise, Omer; Manura, David J.; Dogan, Mevlut – European Journal of Physics, 2008
The interactive nature of computer simulation allows students to develop a deeper understanding of the laws of charged particle optics. Here, the use of commercially available optical design programs is described as a tool to aid in solving charged particle optics problems. We describe simple and practical demonstrations of basic electrostatic…

Peer reviewedSnir, Joseph – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1989
Examines the use of a computer simulation program as a tool to help in the understanding of wave phenomena. After analyzing some of the main difficulties and common misconceptions about waves, features of the "Making Waves" software package are described. Figures showing a typical monitor display are presented. (YP)
