Useful graphic of the electromagnetic spectrum []
 * Electromagnetic Radiation (graphic)**

Description and pictures of parts of a wave including a frequency simulation that can be manipulated. []
 * Description of Parts of a Wave (simulation)**

In order to understand the fundamental experiments that show the nature of the atom, you must understand the nature of electromagnetic radiation. This simulation allows you to visualize and relate the properties of amplitude and frequency. Investigate both standing waves and (fixed end) and traveling waves (loose end). You can ignore the damping effect - this will likely not be covered in any chemistry class. []

Somehow bees are brought up in every discussion of color. []
 * Can Bees See Color? (article)**

An interactive graphic that allows you to see the color of energy transitions between hydrogen energy levels. []
 * Hydrogen Energy Levels (animation)**

A tutorial on the energy levels of hydrogen. []
 * Bohr Model of the Arom (tutorial)**

Comparison of historical models of the Hydrogen atom: Billiard Ball, Plum Pudding, Solar System, Bohr, Schrodinger []
 * Models of the Hydrogen Atom (simulation)**

Simple explanation of the idea of emission and absorption spectra. []
 * Spectroscopy (tutorial)**

Simulation of discharge lamps/spectral tubes. [|**http://phet.colorado.edu/simulations/sims.php?sim=Neon_Lights_and_Other_Discharge_Lamps**]
 * Discharge Lamps (simulation)**

Explains how d-splitting results in color, includes graphics and calculation practice. [|**http://www.wwnorton.com/college/chemistry/gilbert/tutorials/ch10.htm**]
 * Crystal Field Splitting (tutorial)**

Simulation demonstrating the particle nature of light. [].
 * Photoelectric Effect (simulation)**

Video clip animating the double slit experiment which indicates the wave nature of the electron. Note that this video is a bit misleading in the use of an "eye" to indicate an observer. The phenomenon results from the act of measurement, whether human or mechanical. []
