Convex Mirror & Concave Mirror
Real image and virtual image Looking at an object, we feel there is an object in it. By the way, if you feel that there is something, we say there is an ‘image’, even if there … more

Magnetic Field around Magnet(or Earth)
Magnetic field around magnet The space where the magnetic force of the magnet acts is called a ‘magnetic field.’ The direction of the magnetic field is determined in the direction indicated by the N pole of … more
Pendulum Wave
Pendulum wave A ‘Pendulum wave’ is a collective wave-like phenomenon that appears when pendulums (weights) of different lengths are arranged side by side. Because each pendulum has a different period depending on its length, they oscillate … more
Direction of earth’s gravity
Scientific definitions of ‘up’ and ‘down’ We live on the surface of the Earth and are always under the influence of its gravity. When we let go of an object, it falls “down,” and when we … more
Spectrum Analysis of Sound
This simulation analyzes the sound around you and displays it as a spectrum. The simulation works by recognizing the surrounding sounds. In the case of PC, please grant permission to use the microphone. Voice data is … more
Doppler Effect and RedShift
Doppler Effect By listening to the ambulance’s siren, we can tell if the ambulance is coming or going. When an ambulance approaches with a siren, the sound wave’s wavelength becomes shorter (higher note), and when it … more
Pressure, buoyancy, and gravity applied to a balloon
Assume the pressure inside and outside the balloon is equal at 1 atmosphere. For ease of calculation, the volume and mass of the balloon and string are assumed to be zero. Pressure on a Balloon In … more
Drinks in a straw aren’t pulled, they’re pushed.
Drinks in a straw aren’t pulled, they’re pushed. When we say ‘straw,’ most people picture liquid being sucked upward. But scientifically, that’s not what happens. The liquid doesn’t rise because of suction; it rises because the … more
Pressure and Pressing Area
Pressure is defined as the force applied per unit area. When the same force is applied to two different surfaces, the pressure depends on the size of the area: the larger the area, the smaller the … more
Buoyancy comparison
Why is the submerged volume important to understand buoyancy? It is so famous that the 3rd-century Greek philosopher Archimedes shouted “Eureka!” and ran out of the bathhouse naked. （What did Archimedes find out? – Quotations from … more
