Description
Plane Wave: Step Scattering
Plane Wave: Step Scattering is a super handy app built in Java that makes studying a free-particle plane wave really easy! It helps you see how the wave changes over time when it hits a potential energy step. If you're curious about how particles behave, this tool is perfect for you.
Understanding the Wave Functions
This app shows the position-space wave functions using three colors, which makes it easy to understand:
- Black: This color represents the absolute square of the wave function.
- Blue: This one shows the real part of the wave function.
- Red: And this one is for the imaginary part of the wave function.
Interactive Features
You can play around with different settings! The user gets to change how high the potential step is or adjust the energy of the plane wave just by dragging circles on the energy graph. It’s fun and really helps you see what’s happening!
Learn About Transmission and Reflection Coefficients
The app also calculates and displays important values like transmission and reflection coefficients. These numbers tell you how much of your wave gets through versus how much bounces back. Pretty cool, right?
