Physics is the natural science of matter, involving the study of matter, its fundamental constituents, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force. Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, with its main goal being to understand how the universe behaves. A scientist who specializes in the field of physics is called a physicist.

Simple Harmonic Motion
Graph displacement and velocity of a mass-spring or pendulum system over time. Adjust amplitude, frequency, and phase to explore SHM.
Open tool →Wave Interference
Superpose two waves with adjustable amplitudes and phase difference. See constructive and destructive interference patterns emerge.
Open tool →Boyle's Law
Visualise the inverse relationship between pressure and volume at constant temperature. Plot isotherms for multiple temperatures.
Open tool →Charles's Law
Explore the direct proportionality between volume and absolute temperature at constant pressure. Extrapolation reveals absolute zero.
Open tool →Capacitor Charge & Discharge
Plot the exponential decay of voltage and current as a capacitor discharges through a resistor. Adjust R and C to see how the time constant τ = RC changes.
Open tool →Radioactive Decay
Model exponential radioactive decay. Adjust the half-life to see how the number of undecayed nuclei and activity change over time.
Open tool →Blackbody Radiation
Plot Planck's spectral radiance curves at multiple temperatures. See Wien's displacement law shift the peak wavelength as temperature changes.
Open tool →Doppler Effect
See how observed frequency changes as a source moves toward or away from an observer. Explore the relationship between source speed and frequency shift.
Open tool →V–I Characteristics
Compare voltage-current relationships for an ohmic resistor, a filament lamp, and a diode. See where Ohm's law holds and where it breaks down.
Open tool →Gravitational Fields
Plot gravitational field strength against distance from a planet. See the inverse-square law outside and linear variation inside a uniform sphere.
Open tool →Nuclear Binding Energy
Plot binding energy per nucleon against mass number using the semi-empirical mass formula. Identify the iron-56 peak and the fission and fusion regions.
