| Description: | This learning tool teaches the user concepts about building a CD player. The learning tool is divided into the following sections: - How can you make a solid give off light? - What is the nature of light? (Waves and Infrared Radiation) - Can you control what colors you get when heating a solid? (Black-Body Radiation) - How can you draw a graph when you have a huge range of values? - Which solid elements can be heated electrically to give off light? - Properties of Metals - Electrical Conductivity of the Elements - The Incandescent Bulb - How can we represent solids? - What pairs of elements will combine to make solids? - Scanning Tunneling Microscope - Atomic Force Microscope - Piezoelectricity - Diffraction - Light Emitting Diodes - External Links - Equilibria The learning tool demonstrates the concepts by using both quicktime movies and documented text. Keywords: Materials Science, Chemistry |
