Monica Roccaforte In Suspenders

Reflection and refraction, critical angle

flash animation downloaded from the website: http://www.upscale.utoronto.ca/GeneralInterest/Harrison/Flash/
providing creative commons licensed physical animations in Flash format.
With this animation we can study the reflection and refraction of light passing from air to glass. Clicking "next scene" the incident ray is in the glass and changing the angle of incidence we can see the critical angle, which is one for which total reflection occurs.
