Features & Capabilities

Refractive is a software that calculates the refractive index of the major transparent materials in accordance to wavelength. Refractive is conceived for Optical design engineers as well as students interested in optics.

All that’s needed is to select two materials to calculate their transmission proprieties.

Characteristics :

  • Calculation of the refractive index according to wavelength;
  • Calculation of light’s transmission angles;
  • Reflection and transmission coefficients for the two materials in accordance to the angle of incidence;
  • Calculation of the critical angle and Brewster’s angle,;
  • Recall of the major refraction formulas;
  • Possibility to define personalized materials.

This app includes a catalog of materials divided into gases, liquids, and solids. Clicking one gives you info about it and let's you select it for use as the incident or emergent material. Then go to the refraction tab to view a refraction simulation for the materials you've selected. You can change the frequency of light and the incident angle has a draggable handle so you can sweep through various positions and watch how the emergent angle varies in response.
