3D Ray Diagram Simulation
The 3D Ray Diagram simulator is loaded with features that allow one to investigate light refraction and image formation by lenses. The characteristics of an image and the dependency upon object location can also be explored. Tap the link below and let the exploration begin!
Instructors may also be interested in viewing the accompanying
Notes page. Technical information, teaching suggestions, related resources that complement this Interactive, and ideas for incorporating the lesson into a unit on Refraction and Lenses are provided on the Notes page. View

We owe a special thanks to Physics teacher Martin Kirby for donating the 3D Ray Diagram simulator to our Interactives collection. If you like this sim, you can tap on the
Donate button and buy him a cup of coffee (or a pot of coffee); he'd appreciate it. Martin has contributed many other simulations to our Interactives collection. You can view them all by visiting our page listing all
Martin Kirby Simulations. Or visit Martin's website (
