Online Certification Programme for Undergraduate Students
The SimOli Online Certification Programme for Undergraduate Students: ten advanced physics experiments in real-time 3D — Millikan’s oil drop, electron diffraction, the photoelectric effect, ESR and more. Perform all ten yourself and earn a verifiable certificate.
The ten experiments
- Millikan’s oil-drop experiment — the charge of the electron
- Electron diffraction — de Broglie wavelength using a graphite target
- Photoelectric effect — Planck’s constant and work function with a vacuum phototube
- Electron spin resonance — the g-factor of DPPH
- Faraday effect — Verdet constant of a glass and a liquid
- Fabry–Pérot etalon — finesse and the separation of the sodium D lines
- Magnetic susceptibility of a paramagnetic solution — Quincke’s method
- Thermionic emission — work function from the Richardson–Dushman equation
- Brownian motion — Boltzmann constant by particle tracking
- Thermal diffusivity of a metal rod — Ångström’s method
