Revisited one of my favorite sites and saw a different applet.
My favorite java app for windows is at:
This is an applet that shows the power of ten by looking at the universe from a macro view (1023) to the nano world (10-16) a difference of dividing or multiplying by ten 39 times doesn't seem like much but it will take you from 100 attometers (the inside of a proton) to 10 million light years which makes our local galaxy cluster look small (Milky Way, Andromeda).
The different applet that I checked out deals with the color of light. Most people understand that you can mix pigments to create new colors (yellow and blue mix to make green). However, most people don't understand that if you mix red light, green light, and blue light you get white! That's because light is about the different between what is absorbed and what is reflected (simple web page explanation).
The new applet is the following:
Put it on manual for best results.
Put on manual as well.
I have seen similar and wasn't wowed by it but goes well with the other two applets.
Since I am talking abut applets the best resource is PhET this is hosted at my alma mater the University of Colorado, at Boulder.
No links just google phet anytime you need a science app. Then you can find what you need.
