Minds On - Refraction and Lenses
The Refraction and Lenses Minds-On module consists of various missions (assignments) that address such topics as refraction, the dependency of the direction of bending upon relative light speed, medium density and index of refraction values, Snell's law, total internal reflection, and converging and diverging lenses. The missions and the corresponding objectives are listed below. Tap a mission's name to begin.
