Light and Optics (CD-ROM)

The Physics Simulation Series of CD-ROMs contains fully interactive physics simulations for use by high school students. Each experiment has audio accompaniment and detailed notes that can be printed out for later study. The simulations are designed to allow variable experiments to simulate changing conditions.

Light and Optics contains the following simulations:

• reflection and refraction
• the plane mirror
• the spherical mirror
• the lens
• the system of two lenses
• the eye
• the telescope
• the microscope
• Newton's rings
• interference experiment of Young
• diffraction
• Fresnel's zones
• the diffraction grating
• circular apertures and resolving powers
• polarises
• polarisation of light
