AC Circuits
Compare R, RC, RL, and RLC circuits: phase, impedance, resonance.
Geometric Optics
Learn the laws of optics! Move lenses, mirrors, and light sources to understand how rays refract and how real and virtual images are formed.
Detailed Explanation
This simulation uses a physically accurate engine to calculate real-time interactions based on established scientific principles. It allows you to visualize phenomena that are typically invisible or happen too fast or too slow to observe in a traditional classroom setting.
How the simulation works
This interactive STEM simulation lets you study the process visually by adjusting parameters and observing results in real time. Launch the model and experiment with settings to see how different variables affect the outcome.
The simulation content is available immediately once launched: the interactive model loads in your browser and requires no additional software.
What you will learn
- Control key parameters and observe how they shape system behavior.
- Tell qualitative and quantitative changes apart during the experiment.
- Form hypotheses and test them safely without specialized equipment.
- Connect observable effects to fundamental laws and concepts.
- Compare model behavior across limiting cases and boundary conditions.
- Prepare for tests and olympiads by building intuition on an interactive model instead of memorizing formulas.
Where it is applied
The knowledge gained here is used in engineering, energy, electronics, and modern device design.

Ensure a soft landing! Deploy drogue and main parachutes at the right altitude, account for air resistance, and safely splash the capsule into the ocean.
Apollo Re-entry
Control the spacecraft! Adjust the entry angle into Earth's atmosphere so the capsule neither burns up from friction nor skips back into space.
