Remote experiment on diffraction for determining dimensions of microobjects and quantum physics phenomena

Miroslava 1 0žvoldová, František 1.2 Schauer and František 3 Lustig

In this paper we introduce the remote e-laboratory built on the system ISES - Internet School Experimental System – (see both on www.ises.info), on the example of the experiment on diffraction, built on Java applets and using server–client approach. The arrangement enables to explain the Fraunhofer’s diffraction phenomena, to measure the distribution of the radiation intensity behind the slit and to transmit the data to the client. The experiment may be used for the determination of the dimensions of microobjects and in quantum physics for the elucidation of the behaviour of photons and finding of one of the most basic physical constants – Planck constant, and the verification of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

Real-world experiments over the Internet: the solar energy e-learning laboratory experience

Ioannis MICHAELIDES and Polyvios ELEFTHERIOU

This paper presents the experience from the operation of the solar energy e-learning laboratory in Cyprus, (http://e-lab.hti.ac.cy), and demonstrates the benefits of remote engineering in the field of solar energy. The aim of solar energy e-learning laboratory (Solar e-lab) is to use the Internet as a tool to make the laboratory facilities accessible to engineering students and technicians located outside the e-lab premises. In this way, the solar energy e-learning lab, its equipment and experimental facilities are available and shared by many people, thus reducing costs and widening educational experiences.

Remote Scientific Experiments across Internet – the Technology for Reinforcing Partnerships in Education

Franz Schauer1.2, Miroslava Ozvoldova1 and Frantisek Lustig3

The paper describes how remote experiments across the Internet may be built using the server-client approach and software ISES WEB CONTROL and the Intelligent School Experimental System (ISES) hardware (www.ises.info).All communication is through Internet, using web services on the client side with browser. This approach enables the simple construction of remote experiments without building any hardware and virtually no programming, working with paste and copy approach of typical blocks as camera view, controls, graphs and displays. We set up and operate at present 7 experiments (visit www.ises.info ).The system is prepared for the starting the network of universities covering the basic set of physics experiments.
