About this Simulation

This simulation models how light behaves when passing between two different media with different optical densities. Learners can adjust incident angles, media properties, and observe real-time changes in light speed and refraction angles, exploring the relationship between media density and light behaviour.

Learning objectives: Understand how light speed varies in different media | Investigate the relationship between incident angle and refraction angle | Apply Snell's law to predict light path changes at media boundaries
