Detail Page

written by Michael J. Lee and Wolfgang Christian
This Physlet based simulation illustrates the concept of total internal reflection through the use of a beam of light. The beam can be manipulated with the mouse enabling the user to investigate most aspects of Snell's Law.

Please note that this resource requires Java Applet Plug-in.
