Computer Simulation of a Particle in a One-Dimensional Double or Triple Potential Well.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Humberston, J. W.; And Others – Physics Education, 1983
A computer program was written for a model system in quantum mechanics (particle in a one-dimensional finite square well potential). Described is a major extension of the single-well program to treat problem of a particle in a double/triple finite square potential well. Technical/educational features of the program are considered.

Computer Simulation of Diffraction Patterns.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Dodd, N. A. – Physics Education, 1983
Describes an Apple computer program (listing available from author) which simulates Fraunhofer and Fresnel diffraction using vector addition techniques (vector chaining) and allows user to experiment with different shaped multiple apertures. Graphics output include vector resultants, phase difference, diffraction patterns, and the Cornu spiral…
