Required Pratical – Simulation of Infrared Radiation (Emission and Absorption)

Physics, Physics, Required Practical, Science, Waves /

Required Pratical – Simulation of Infrared Radiation (Emission and Absorption) What the simulation does It is a 3D interactive Leslie cube practical covering the AQA required practical on infrared radiation, with two investigations the pupil can switch between. In the emission investigation, a pupil taps an electric kettle that automatically lifts its lid, pours boiling […]

Required practical – 2D Simulation of Light Reflection and Refraction

Physics, Physics, Required Practical, Science, Waves /

Refraction and Reflection – Ray Diagrams Simulation What the simulation does The simulation. A top-down optical bench for the AQA required practical on light. A ray box fires a single ray at a boundary through the centre. Pupils switch the light on, then drag the ray box up or down to change the angle of

Physics, Physics, Required Practical, Science, Waves /

Refraction and Reflection – Ray Diagrams Simulation What the simulation does It runs the AQA required practical on light as an interactive 3D bench setup. Pupils choose between two investigations. In Reflection mode, a ray box shines a single ray at a plane mirror, and pupils measure the angle of incidence and the angle of

Critical angle and Total Internal reflection simulation

Physics, Science, Waves /

Critical Angle is an interactive HTML5 Canvas simulation demonstrating the critical angle and total internal reflection for GCSE Physics (Waves topic, 4.6.2). Light travels upward from a glass block (n = 1.50) toward the boundary with air. A single draggable angle slider lets pupils vary the angle of incidence in the glass and watch the
