Virtual lab: Reflection and refraction

Aim: investigate the reflection of light by a plane mirror and the refraction of light by a glass block. Press the button to carry out each step of the method.

Follow the method one step at a time, or use the buttons above to finish it for you.

    Results

    All angles are measured from the normal.

    Graph: angle of reflection and refraction against angle of incidence

    The graph will be drawn when you reach that step.
