Light & Radiation Simulations

Select an experiment to open the interactive sandbox.

🌈

Geometric Optics

Bend lasers, experiment with lenses and mirrors, and understand refraction, reflection, and image formation visually.

🌊

Bending Light (Snell's Law)

Explore how light beams bend when they travel between different mediums like air, water, and glass. Measure the angles of refraction and reflection.

💎

Prisms & Dispersion

Place different glass shapes into the laser beam to see how light bends and splits into a rainbow spectrum. Perfect for understanding rainbow formation.
