Quanta and Atoms - the elementary approach

1999
Our Entry is dedicated to quantum and atomic physics. The site is available in English as well as in Polish . We decided to make it in the form of a course, which consists in three so called paths levels of difficulty. At two first levels (the yellow, and the red path) student is guided by the given order through the issues from the more basic to the more complicated problems of physics. But the third level (the blue path), which includes additional topics, only in the first half consists in the pages given in some order. These are the history pages, where the development of the atomic physics is described from the philosophical considerations of the Ancients up to the end of the 19th century. And from the second half one chooses topics that interest them, and of which they would like to have deeper understanding. Besides of lots of texts there are also drawings, animations, photos, videos and simulations all belonging to the educational material of our Entry. Moreover, as our Entry is a course, there are tests regularly helping the user to check his progress. But no one is obligated to do them, and if they want to go forward (because they are not interested in completing the course and just look for some interesting piece of information) they still can follow the given order, open any page (which are all listed in the contents), or use the search.
