Filtering Away
We'll be the first to admit that this simulation would best be done as an actual lab ... with the actual filters and light sources. But if you don't have the equipment or if some sort of worldwide pandemic has closed down schools, then this is the next best alternative. And that's exactly how this simulation was born ... during the COVID19 global crisis. It's virus free so there's no need to keep your distance. Just launch the Interactive and start exploring.
Users are encouraged to open the Interactive and explore. For a more guided experience, The Physics Classroom has prepared an activity for use with this Interactive and encourages teachers to use it with their classes.
Learners and Instructors may also be interested in viewing the accompanying Notes page. Technical information, teaching suggestions, and related resources that complement this Interactive are provided on the Notes page. View Notes.
NEWOur Filtering Away simulation is now available with a Concept Checker. Do the simulation. Then follow it up with the Filtering Away Concept Checker.
