Understanding Concepts of Physics through Virtual Labs during Lockdown

In the past years, virtual lab software applications seem to be adopted everywhere in the education world. Physical Labs play a vital role in the learning of physics. This study aims to introduce a systematic platform of experiments that are practically not possible to conduct in our physical labs. Here, we are presenting an overview of virtual labs in the field of relativity. Here, the user can experience real-time relativity (RTR) while sitting in the classrooms. Keeping in mind that students get the full liberty of committing mistakes, we are designing the experiment in the same manner. An evaluation system is being introduced to monitor the understanding of students in the respective lab. This evaluation system consists of pre and pro-test. These tests consist of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and problems on the particular subject area. After successful completion of the experiment, Users get awarded a certificate to merit his/her performance. This paper presents the virtual lab concept on time dilation effect and ultimately simulates the same in a relativistic virtual environment. In the future, the same method could be employed to study other relativistic phenomena virtually using a virtual lab.
