The “Optics” Virtual Laboratory accurately calculates and simulates the propagation of light in various media. Users can place instruments on an optical bench, adjust their properties, and observe how the behavior of a light beam changes depending on the configuration of the setup. A set of screens and a wavelength measuring device assist in these observations.

  • The equipment available in the application is not always found in every physical laboratory.
  • The visualization of the light beam on the measurement screen allows users to take readings and interpret them.
  • The combination of a transparent board and a set square helps study the trajectory of a light beam passing through a prism of a complex shape, which can be adjusted according to the user’s needs. Along with the prism, mirrors are also available, with customizable shapes.

The ``Physics`` Virtual Laboratory, Optics Section allows users to:

  • Mathematically correctly calculate and freely simulate the propagation of light in various media and its interaction with substances. A three-dimensional laboratory setup and measuring instruments are available, with no restrictions on the number of objects that can be used simultaneously (sandbox concept).

  • Use 3D optical laboratory equipment, including:

    • A screen, a converging lens (with a built-in constructor), a directed light source, an optical bench, a light source, two glass plates with liquid between them, a screen with a slit, lasers with three types of radiation (coherent, monochromatic, red), a diffraction grating, a Dove prism, an optical disk, and optical slides (square, triangle, “F”).
  • Use 3D optical measuring equipment, including:

    • A device for determining the wavelength of light, a transparent board with a marker, an eraser, and a ruler.
  • Utilize specialized measuring and control equipment to record changes in the behavior of light rays.
