What is oPhysics?

About oPhysics The oPhysics website is a collection of interactive physics simulations. It is a work in progress, and likely always will be. Content will be added as time allows.

How many incident light rays do you see in simulation?

This is a 3D simulation of the processes involved in the formation of a rainbow. This is a simulation based on a problem on the publicly released 2015 AP Physics 2 exam. I used the actual indices of refraction given in the problem, and made the simulation to the same scale as used in the problem.

What is light interactive?

Interact Light play is a new phone app by Signify that is designed to connect to architectural lighting installations and transform them into interactive experiences by allowing visitors to take control of and “play” with lighting. Visitors can then select a desired installation and a time to control the lighting.

What is bending of light called?

The bending of light as it passes from one medium to another is called refraction. The angle and wavelength at which the light enters a substance and the density of that substance determine how much the light is refracted.

Is SimPHY free?

The free/student version of SimPHY is now available as a free download. It is fully functional with some disabled features and some missing modules that we believe students don’t need. Kindly download , install and run pre-loaded simulation to get acquainted with it.

What is the refractive index for air?

1.0003
Some typical refractive indices for yellow light (wavelength equal to 589 nanometres [10−9 metre]) are the following: air, 1.0003; water, 1.333; crown glass, 1.517; dense flint glass, 1.655; and diamond, 2.417.

What color is 400 nm?

violet
The visible spectrum

How does light energy produce Coloured shadows?

In one place, the object blocks the light coming from the green bulb, leaving a blue shadow; in the other location it blocks the light from the blue bulb, leaving a green shadow. When you move the object close to the screen, the shadows overlap, leaving a very dark (black) shadow where the object blocks both lights.

Is rainbow a source of light?

A rainbow is an optical illusion—it does not actually exist in a specific spot in the sky. The appearance of a rainbow depends on where you’re standing and where the sun (or other source of light) is shining. Rainbows are the result of the refraction and reflection of light.

Does laser light bend in water?

This so-called total internal reflection also allows low-power lasers to bend the water’s surface. Ordinary lasers from household electronics can shape water. But when the light beam comes up through the water at an angle greater than about 49 degrees, it is almost all reflected back into the water.

What is refraction simulation?

Refraction: It is a very basic simulation where you get three rectangular glass slabs and a single beam light source to simulate the behavior of light in the dense and thin medium. As you know, light beam changes its direction when going through light to dense medium or vice versa.

What is the best free optics simulation software?

Geometric Optics is a free web-based optics simulation software for Windows. It is also a Java based software that requires both Java and Adobe Flash player to work. This simulator is used to create various scenarios in order to analyze and understand the behavior of light, refraction, and optics.

What istry now virtual refractor?

TRY NOW Virtual Refractor simulates a distance and near subjective optometric refraction, using a refractor head on virtual patients. There are numerous patients, prescriptions and profiles, and the patients respond to test questions and charts based on user input.

How do I use the refraction Interactive in physics?

Physics Tutorial The Refraction Interactive is shown in the iFrame below. There is a small hot spot in the top-left corner. Clicking/tapping the hot spot opens the Interactive in full-screen mode. Use the Escape key on a keyboard (or comparable method) to exit from full-screen mode.
