- Einstein Light a wonderful animated series of pages illustrates "Galilean relativity, electromagnetism, the apparent inconsistency between them, Einstein relativiy, time dilation and length contraction, E=mc2 and beyond relativity." Best of all are the supporting pages both with and without mathematics. Thanks to George Hatsidimitris for this site.
- The Particle Adventure animates quarks and other particles, explains how giant accelerators and detectors work and provides quizzes and pop-up glossaries. Aimed at high school students.
- Rod Nave's Physics Review pages. Check out the flow-chart linking so you can wander around following topics of interest for hours.
- Russian physics animations show mechanics, waves, optics and thermodynamics.
- Watch magnetic fields. We've all seen a compass needle shift as the elevated train goes by, now see animations of the lines of magnetic flux to understand how it works.
- Optics Notes from lenses to fiber optics and 2000 other topics in between.
