USEFUL WEBSITES
University of Colorado Animations - for animations of properties of light. You can manipulate these Flash applications and see the changes for yourself. Be sure to check out "Balckbody radiation" to see how temperatures give off different wavelengths of light, "Colour Vision" to see how light is made of colours and "Geometric Optics" to see how image properties change with the properties of the lens that forms them.
Colour Spotlights - see how different coloured lights combine to make secondary colours and white light
Infrared goggles - This website let's you move infrared goggles around to see what different objects look like when only this part of the spectrum is visile.
Ray Diagram for curved surface - Use this flash animation to see where the rays go and what the image will be like.
Lenses and Mirrors - A selection of Flash Animations to show how images are formed in a variety of optical devices
Physics Classroom Optics - Notes, diagrams and "Test your Knowledge" questions on every topic studied in this unit and more
Lens ray Diagram - lets you alter the properties of a lens and object and see the effects on a ray diagram.
