Describes a student computer experiment that shows how the properties of the star, the temperature, and the opacity determine the nature of the observed spectrum of a star. (MLH)

Describes the use of an interactive computer terminal for introductory laboratory experiments. (SL)

Describes the use of a time-sharing computer and an x-y plotter in a variation of the laboratory exercise on the physical pendulum. (HM)

Describes an interactive computer program which allows students to perform simulated quantum measurements on a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator. (SL)

Different programs have been developed for the simulation of physics experiments by using TI-57 programmable calculators. Two of these programs, describing the simulation of a successive radioactive decay and the random motion of a gas molecule, are presented. (Author/SK)

Describes a procedure for determining the coefficient of restitution using a microcomputer which collects and sends data to a large computer where analysis is done and graphical output is generated. The data collection hardware and software are described, and results are illustrated. (Author/SK)
