Molecules and Light

Light and Molecule Interaction Simulation

Description

Why does carbon dioxide cause a greenhouse effect while nitrogen does not? Molecules and Light shines microwaves, infrared, visible and ultraviolet at molecules, and you see which light makes a molecule vibrate, rotate or break apart.

Swap in carbon monoxide, water, methane or ozone and open the spectrum diagram to compare wavelengths.

Features



Four light sources: Switch among microwave, infrared, visible and ultraviolet.

Many molecules: Pick from CO, N2, O2, CO2, methane, water, NO2 and ozone.

Spectrum diagram: See the energy of each band.
