Complete simulation of concave and convex lens. It is an interactive way of discovering where and what type of image will be formed if the object is placed at focus, centre of curvature etc. This animated physics (optics) software gives in-depth information about optical lenses and is very useful for schools and industry.
Properties of image formed at each stage explained
Interactive placement of candle (object )

Lenses are divided in two categories:
1. Converging lens or convex lens
2 .Diverging lens or concave lens
The best way to study them through an interactive tutorial
where the lenses can be placed at different position and the
ray diagram studied to understand it clearly. All possible
positions for convex as well as concave lenses are shown here.
Ray diagrams with explanations are given to elucidate the
experiment.
