This item is an interactive tutorial on the topic of light reflection. It integrates background information with related Java simulations that allow users to explore the Law of Reflection, reflection from smooth and rough surfaces, concave and convex mirrors, faceted diamond reflection, and total internal reflection (TIR). Developed by the respected Molecular Expressions team, it could serve as content support for K-12 science teachers and/or students in an introductory physics class. The simulations are especially well designed to allow users to "see" what is happening when light reflects.
This item is part of a much larger collection of materials on optics and microscopy developed by the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Florida State University. Please note that this resource requires Java.
This resource is part of 2 Physics Front Topical Units.
Topic: Nature and Behavior of Light
Unit Title: Ray Optics -- Reflection and Refraction of Light This interactive tutorial offers teachers a way to build content knowledge of light reflection. By integrating four Java simulations, the resource is fun and allows the user to more readily "see" what is happening as light reflects off both a flat and a curved surface. Also includes more advanced concepts such as total internal reflection. Link to Unit:
