Some java appletsRefractionA basic refraction appletIncluding total internal reflection Ray tracingA convex mirror exampleGraphical ray tracing with either a mirror or a lens A whole java applet package for graphical ray tracing. InterferenceDouble slit interference via the Huygens-Fresnel principleAnother double slit applet N-slit inteference patterns A nice Fabry-Perot applet PolarizationA cool polarization applet demonstrating how the phase difference between Ex and Ey leads to linear, circular and elliptical polarization. |
