The revision cards, made draggable
Twelve labs paired with the H2 revision PDFs — every lab names the cards it proves. Real physics under every slider.

Not sure where to start? Do these three:
Topic 8 · Oscillations
Mass–Spring
x/v/a · energy · damping
Spring in 3D with live graphs — v peaks at equilibrium, a at the extremes, energy bars trade.
Pendulum
small angles · g presets
Real pendulum vs 2π√(L/g). Crank θ₀ and watch them split; change mass and watch nothing happen.
Circular ↔ SHM
phasors · phase leads
A rotating peg's shadow IS SHM — why v leads x by π/2 and a is antiphase, as geometry.
Resonance & Damping
f_d sweep · response curve
Drive the spring, build the response curve yourself, watch damping lower and broaden the peak.
Topic 11 · Wave Motion
Wave Anatomy
two graphs · Δφ · who leads
Beads stay put while the shape travels. Pick two particles: live phase difference and lead/lag.
Longitudinal & Sound
C/R at zero · Δp shift λ/4
Compressions travel down a particle tube; guide lines land exactly on the graph zeros.
Polarisation
why sound can't · Malus
A slit kills a crossed transverse rope but does nothing to a longitudinal wave — at any angle.
Intensity & Spreading
1/r² · diluted not lost
Sphere, hemisphere, ripple, beam — drag a detector; total power through the front never budges.
Wavefronts & Geometry
rays ⊥ fronts · d·sinθ
λ-caliper on the rings, the oblique-incidence triangle, and the sin θ = y/y₀ protractor.
Boundary & Energy
f never changes · I ∝ f²A²
Cycle counters across a boundary never drift; doubling buttons prove the intensity chain.
Measurement
working CRO · λ = 2d rig
The two syllabus experiments as instruments — the CRO grades your reading of a hidden f.
Radar & EM Spectrum
d⁴ machine · f = c/λ
The PkS/16π²d⁴ formula assembles itself as the pulse flies; spectrum on a log-λ slider.
