WebTOP - The Optics Project

Website Detail Page

written by John Foley, Taha Mzoughi, and David Banks

The Web Optics Project provides an extensive set of 3D simulations of optics experiments. A wide range of systems can be modeled, including interference and diffraction, lenses, reflection and refraction, the eye, and lasers. Parameters can be adjusted over a wide range of values. The actions of a user can be recorded in scrips for later playback. In addition of the simulation, and extensive menu of tutorials, exercises, pictures, and videos are provided.
