科学计算可视化在物理光学教学中的应用

摘要

可视化是利用计算机图形学和图像处理技术，将数据转换成图形或图像在屏幕上显示出来，并进行交互处理的理论、方法和技术。本文用Mathematica软件对物理光学中计算夫琅和费衍射的实例进行编程操作，获得了夫琅和费衍射图样。说明Mathematica可以将物理图像形象展现出来，对物理光学教学中的复杂的物理内容可视化具有很好效果，有利于学生更好地建立物理图像。%Scientific visualization is a technique for creating im-ages, diagrams, or animations to communicate a message. By us-ing the Mathematica software, an example of calculation of Fraunhofer diffraction on physical optics is furnished in order to get the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern. This shows that physical images can be vividly demonstrated by using Mathematica, and it has a very good effect on visualization of complex physical con-tent in physical optics teaching, which helps students to better establish the physical images.
