Refraction Simulation

Bending Light Through Mediums (Density & Speed)

Laser Mode

Medium Properties

Medium Density Speed
Air Less Dense Fast
Lens More Dense Slow

Observations

Rectangular Block: Light slows and bends towards the normal entering the block, then speeds up and bends away exiting the block.

Question 1 / 5

Note: The interior of the shape is MORE dense than the outside air.

Estimate Refraction

Drag sliders to bend the light. Remember rules for entering/exiting denser mediums!
