About this Simulation

This interactive simulation demonstrates the fundamental principle that light travels in straight lines. Students can visualize light rays, adjust variables, and observe how light behaves in different scenarios. The simulation helps build intuitive understanding of light propagation and supports exploration of ray optics concepts.

Learning objectives: Understand that light travels in straight lines under uniform conditions | Visualize light rays and their path through space | Apply the straight-line principle to predict light behavior in optical systems
