Physlets were developed at Davidson College and converted from Java to JavaScript using the SwingJS system developed at St. Olaf College.

What isfocal lengthof lens

Light rays from a beam source, initially in air, are incident on a material of different index of refraction (position is given in centimeters). You can change the curvature of the surface of the material as well as the index of refraction. Restart.
