University of Colorado: Physics 2000: Quantum Atom: Angular Momentum of an Electron

Several pages with an interesting discussion of the visible light spectrum and atomic absorption and emission line spectrum. Features excellent graphics, thorough and understandable discussion, and many interactive Java applets.

Each electron has a set of quantum numbers that specify it's location, orbital, and energy in a unique manner.

An explanation of the different types of atomic orbitals, how they are filled according to the Pauli Exclusion Principle, and how many electrons can fit in each electron shell.

The Pauli Exclusion Principle shows how electrons fill atomic orbitals. Includes biographical information on Wolfgang Pauli.

Many mechanical phenomena are explained by a physics professor using Nick Goepper, a Winter Olympics 2014 slope-style skier, as the model. Beginning with kinetic and potential energy, the professor goes on to explain angular momentum and...

This page and the three pages which follow discuss how X-ray technology can be used to produce an image of the human body. Discussion is understandable and highly intriguing. Several interactive animations allow the visitor to explore...

Using a student-teacher dialogue format, this page discusses the nature of light as an electromagnetic wave and the electromagnetic spectrum.

A series of seven pages that describe how screen displays on laptop computers work using polarized light in a liquid crystal display. Interactive Java applets.

A series of pages that explain polarization, polarized light and its effects, polarized filters, and sunglasses. Interactive Java applets.

Discusses the nature of an electromagnetic wave. Explains the oscillating electric field and represents it through clever graphics and animations.
