Refraction of Light

There’s a new, engaging way to learn and apply your knowledge of science in a dynamic environment. Learn by doing and see the impact of being involved in what you learn.

Explore how light changes directions when it enters a new medium. Use a simulator and Snell’s Law to determine the how much light will refract.

• Use a simulator to send a light beam at different angles.
• Determine the angle of the incoming beam.
• Use Snell’s Law to calculate the angle of refraction.
• Study total internal reflection.

App features:
• Manipulate a simulator to send light beam at varying angles different mediums.
• Use Snell’s Law to determine angle of refraction.
• Watch animations that explain the concepts.
• Test your knowledge with interactive tasks and quizzes.
