Physics Bites! - Lenses

The purpose of Physics Bites is to give the user a chance to better understand certain concepts in physics by playing with tiny simulations (or Bites). Each Bite allows the user to change several parameters but is designed to be simple enough to not overwhelm the user with controls.Lenses is the first Physics Bites module, with simulations illustrating different aspects of lenses.

Refractive

Refractive is a software that calculates the refractive index of the major transparent materials in accordance to wavelength. Refractive is conceived for Optical design engineers as well as students interested in optics. Characteristics :- Calculation of the refractive index according to wavelength;- Calculation of lights transmission angles;- Reflection and transmission coefficients for the two materials in accordance to the angle of incidence;- Calculation of the critical angle and Brewsters angle,;- Recall of the major refraction formulas;- Possibility to define personalized materials.
