Thick Lens Model

Read the Fine Print
Subject:
Science and Technology
Institution Name:
comPADRE
Collection:
Open Source Physics
Grade Level:
Post-secondary
Abstract:

The EJS Thick Lens model allows the user to simulate a lens (mirror) by adjusting the physical properties of a transparent (reflecting) object and observing the object's effect on a beam of light.  The user can adjust the concavity of the sides, the index of refraction and its environment, and the height and width of the object as well as the size of the incident light and the horizontal position of the transparent object.  Spherical aberration can be observed at large angles. You can examine and modify this simulation if you have EJS installed by right-clicking within the plot and selecting "Open EJS Model" from the pop-up menu item.
