Abstract

This paper illustrates the use of Flash a multimedia software that enhances teaching / learning of Science. In the present context, Flash is utilized to explain the principle of laser which is the abbreviation for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Laser is a coherent beam, obtained due to stimulated emission of radiation. Hence it involves the jumping of electrons from excited state to ground state, while emitting a coherent laser beam. The flash with its motion tweening capability introduces dynamic motion of electrons. Hence concepts like induced absorption, stimulated emission, and production of laser light which involve jumping of electrons are explained effectively. This project paper supported by Flash allows the student to learn in his own pace, thus making teaching/learning an interesting, interactive process.
