About this Simulation

This interactive lens and mirror simulator allows students to visualise how light behaves when passing through lenses and reflecting off mirrors. Adjust object distance, focal length, and lens/mirror properties in real-time to observe changes in image formation, magnification, and ray paths.

Learning objectives: Understand how converging and diverging lenses form real and virtual images | Apply mirror and lens equations to predict image characteristics | Investigate the relationship between object distance, focal length, and image properties
