Advanced Physics Simulation
Our simulation uses accurate ray tracing algorithms and lens equations to model realistic optical behavior. Features include Snell's law calculations, principal ray tracing, image formation analysis, and real-time parameter adjustments. The tool supports both thin lens approximation and more complex optical scenarios.
How to Use the Simulation Effectively
Start with preset scenarios to understand basic concepts, then experiment with different focal lengths and object positions. Pay attention to how image characteristics change as you move the object closer or farther from the lens. Use the measurement tools to verify theoretical calculations and observe the relationship between object distance, image distance, and magnification.
