PhET Interactive Simulations

How does light bend at the interface between two media, and what determines the angle?
With Bending Light, students can explore light between two media of different indices of refraction and play with different prisms(shapes and materials) phet.colorado.edu/en/simulatio... #Optics #Prisms #edusky
