VIRTUAL LABORATORY WORK IN THE COURSE OF PHYSICS IN HIGHER EDUCATION
The questions of using the virtual laboratory experiment in the educational process in physics in higher education at the level of undergraduate are considered. Opportunities are discussed that give programmatic resources simulating the study of physical phenomena and the problematic aspects of their application in comparison with the implementation of a real laboratory experiment. The laboratory work developed by the authors, simulating studies of the crystal structure of thin metal foils by means of electron diffraction, based on a virtual model of a transmission electron microscope, is proposed. Detailed description of the implementation of the work, especially the control of the results of its use in the distance learning form. The expediency of development and application of such virtual laboratory experiments for the study of physical phenomena, in particular, described by quantum physics, which is practically impossible to reproduce and study in the conditions of a training laboratory, is shown.
