| Reflection-refraction | Physics | Optics |
Overview:
A simulation which explores reflection and refraction from air to glass and from glass to air, including total internal reflection.
You may change the:
- Index of refraction of the glass
- Angle of incidence
Suggestions:
Analyse the process for varying values of the parameters.
Explain the differences between air-to-glass and glass-to-air.
Discuss qualitatively the intensity of the reflected and refracted rays in each situation.
