Abstract:
Teaching physics may be difficult process, mainly because of the issues that students have when learning physics. Therefore, it is important for physics teacher to investigate how technology can be integrated into effective teaching of physics. Regarding the experiments, things are much more delicate because, on one hand, not all experiments can be easily carried out and, on the other, hand the school lab is unavailable for the whole classat once. In the actualcontext, the virtual lab comes in handy for a teacher. Through the virtual simulators, the students will be able to better understand physical phenomena. The study of the light interference using Young’s double-slit could be very difficult to be carried out in a school lab, because it requires accurate measurement of distances, especially for the inter-fringe. Using both knowledge and the abilities gained in the study of the interference phenomenon of light using simulators could be useful in studying the phenomenon using the device available in the real lab.
