This applet demonstrates light through a thick lens and a mirror. The user can change the width, the left curvature and the right curvature of the lens. The index of refraction for the lens and the surrounding environment can also be adjusted. There user can choose between different shaped objects such as a circular glass, parallel light through a water drop and several different shaped glass lenses.

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