Experiment with accurate optical simulations - Virtual Labs: Light combines easy-to-use experiments and highly accurate simulations with over 40 reproducible lab worksheets to help build an understanding of reflection and mirrors, refraction and lenses, and colors. Carefully sequenced levels of virtual experiments??basic, extension, and challenge??provide a safe means to perform hands-on activities with lasers and optical tools. Users can follow pre-designed labs to learn about particular aspects of light, and then create virtual models of telescopes, cameras, and other everyday devices.
