Ray Optics Simulator

Build a ray diagram by dragging lenses, mirrors, prisms and glass blocks onto the stage. Rays follow Snell's law and the law of reflection, and the readings give the image distance and magnification from the lens equation.

What you can do

  • Lenses, curved and plane mirrors, prisms and glass blocks
  • An object, a point source or a parallel beam
  • Image position and magnification from the lens equation
  • Angles of incidence and refraction, and the critical angle
  • White light that splits into a spectrum in a prism
