Exp 7 - problems with running simulation

[Robert Zellmer]

I sent the following on Sunday.  Some of you may have problems
downloading and running the simulation.  As explained below you
first have to install Java on your computer.  Not an easy task on
a Mac (as described below).  Sometimes it might still not run on
your computer.  There's another link which could be helpful if you're
having trouble getting the simulation to run.  Go to the following
link go.osu.edu/jarfix.  This will take you to a site to download
"jarfix".  You might need to run this if somehow you associated
a .jar file with the wrong program (such as your browser).

Please try to get this set up before coming to lab.

However, do NOT do any of the simulation before coming to lab.
If you do so the TA will have you do it again.

Bring a laptop to lab for exp 7.  If you don't have one don't worry.
The TA will put you in groups, although you can work alone if you like.
*The simulation can NOT be done at home.*  You will have to do it in
lab.

It will help for you to download the application before lab.  The link 
and help for
the exp can be found at my "Laboratory" link on the class web page.  The 
link is

*PHeT website* <http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/hydrogen-atom>

Whether you click on the figure or "download" it will ask you to download
the program.  Then run it.  This works on Firefox.  I don't make any 
guarantees
about Chrome, Edge, etc.

The following is from the authors of the program if you are having problems
getting it to work.

*Troubleshooting PhET simulations:
*If there is trouble with a simulation it is probably related to Java.   
Brand new
laptops won't have Java installed yet if the student got their computer 
recently
and hasn't needed to use Java for anything else online, they just might not
have installed it.  Instructions for installing Java can be found here (the
installation is very easy):

*Apple Products:*
Sometimes people have trouble with Apple products.  Since I don't have one
I can't give you specific instructions, but you have to change your 
security
settings to allow the download of Java and the simulation.  You need to 
tell
your Apple product to allow programs to download and run which don't come
directly from the Apple Store.   Also, I know the simulation works using 
Firefox
or Chrome.  I can't say if it works correctly using Safari or other browsers

This will *NOT* work on an *iPad*.

This exp should not take the whole lab period so there should be time to 
work on
exps you have not completed.  Follow the directions given in a previous 
e-mail.
