This item is an interactive Java simulation for students of introductory physics or optics relating to anisotropy. It features a virtual wood block being hit by pinballs, which serves as a model for the behavior of light passing through anisotropic crystals. Users may toggle between sinusoidal and wavefront representations. This item is part of a larger collection of materials on introductory optics.
