Physics - The Travel of Light app for iPhone and iPad

Phenomena of optics are very common is everyday life. Geometric optics demonstrates the optical coherences based on the definition of the ray of light and the source of light. The curriculum discusses the laws and common forms of refraction, reflection and the spreading of light. We can demonstrate and analyse the nature of light with models and experiments. The program contains several possibilities to show the required experiments which otherwise would need highly equipped classrooms and experimental tools. Eye-catching 3D and 2D animation and colourful pictures help the understanding. Interesting games and animations motivate and sustain the students attention.
