Geometric Optics

Study reflection, refraction, Snell's law, total internal reflection, mirrors, lenses, and image formation with interactive ray diagrams.

Wave Optics

Explore Young's double slit, single slit diffraction, thin film interference, and polarization with animated wave simulations.

Modern Optics

Investigate the electromagnetic spectrum, photon energy, photoelectric effect, laser operation, and fiber optic communication principles.

What We Offer

🔦

Ray Tracer

Place mirrors, lenses, and prisms on an optical bench and trace light rays to find images and focal points.

🌈

Spectrum Analyzer

Decompose white light into its spectrum, identify emission lines, and calculate photon energies.

〰️

Interference Lab

Adjust slit width and separation to observe how diffraction and interference patterns change.

🔬

Microscope Sim

Understand magnification, resolution, and numerical aperture through virtual microscope experiments.

What Learners Say

Dragging lenses on the optical bench and watching the image move made optics intuitive.
Dr. Wong, Physics Dept.
The interference simulation finally made wave optics make sense after weeks of confusion.
