Refraction and reflection of light – Ray simulation

Refraction and Reflection – Ray Diagrams Simulation Description A light ray travels down through air and crosses a boundary into a denser medium, bending toward the normal as it does. The simulation draws the incident ray (blue), the refracted ray (its colour matching the chosen medium), and a faint reflected ray (green), with angle arcs […]

Transverse and Longitudinal waves (Slinky) simulation

Waves Simulation — Description & Classroom Activity Guide What the Simulation Does The simulation has four tabs covering the two wave types, their labelled properties, and a direct side-by-side comparison. The colour language is consistent: cyan = transverse wave, orange = compression / longitudinal, blue = rarefaction, green = wave direction, purple = particle vibration
