Law of Definite Proportions
Law of Definite Proportions In a reaction where hydrogen gas is burned to produce water, two hydrogen atoms combine with one oxygen atom. Hydrogen gas and oxygen gas always react in a ratio of 2:1 to … more

The charging and discharging characteristics of capacitor。
Switch up to start charging, and switch down to start discharging. The measured voltage is recorded automatically when charging or discharging starts. You can change the measuring point by moving the probe. For accurate measurement, operate … more
Cassegrain Reflector
Cassegrain Reflector The Cassegrain reflector(telescope) was designed by French engineer Laurent Cassegrain to compensate for the shortcomings of the Newtonian telescope. Light reflected by the concave mirror is incident on the convex mirror. Focus is created … more
Electric Current, Conductor, Insulator
Electric voltage(Regions of a positive or negative charge, such as those at the terminals of a battery) force electrons through a conductor. Electrons that have negative charges can be moved around a circuit. Originally, the current … more
Triboelectricity
When you rub a balloon on a cat, it charged. Charged balloons can be attached to walls or cat. The charged balloon rolls down as it discharges after a certain period of time. Triboelectricity If you … more
Mendeleev’s Periodic Table
Arrange the element cards As Mendeleev did. You can move three or more consecutive cards as a group by dragging the middle. You can view it in full-screen mode by clicking the full-screen button. (There is … more
Average velocity and instantaneous velocity
Record of movements The motion of an object can be more easily understood by graphing it. In the time-distance graph, the slope is equal to the velocity. The average velocity that an object has moved over … more
Twin Paradox
Twin Paradox Twin paradox started as a contradiction in ‘time delay’ in Special relativity. The Twin Paradox goes something like this: (Contents vary depending on the media.) One of the twins stays on Earth, and the … more
Minkowski Spacetime
Minkowski Spacetime Minkowski spacetime (or Minkowski space) is a coordinate system devised by German mathematician Minkowski. The peculiar thing is that the coordinate system contains space and time. Minkowski spacetime uses matrices to express a four-dimensional … more
Special Relativity: Length Contraction
CAUTION: Read the following instructions to the end to get the result that the moving object appears to be constricted in length. (It is difficult to explain ‘Special Relativity’ only with the above simulation.) The meanings … more
Special Relativity: Time Dilation
The meanings of the symbols used in this simulation are as follows. L = Distance that light travels in a stationary state, (=ct｡) c = Speed of light (≒ 299,792,458 m/s) t｡ = The transit time … more
Why do we always have crystal ball covered?
Why do we always have crystal ball covered? While surfing the web, I came across a fascinating article on Twitter. It sounds like a fun topic, so we decided to simulate the refraction of all light … more
