Here, we present a 3D printed experimental apparatus that students can use to acquire interference and diffraction quantitative data from light passing through a single or double-slit experiment. We built a linear screw stage with a multiturn potentiometer connected to its leadscrew as a position sensor. Using an Arduino, we collected light…

We present a computer-based experiment that simulates the accretion process and generates fluffy aggregates with fractal nature. The Box Counting is performed without the aid of an image processing tool by using the coordinate information of the constituents of the aggregate. A simple algorithm to create aggregate and calculate box-dimension will…

Video feedback offers great potential for use in teaching but the relative complexity of the normal set-up of a video camera, a special tripod and a monitor has limited its use in teaching. The authors have developed a computer-webcam set-up which simplifies this. Anyone with an ordinary computer and webcam can learn to control the video feedback…
