Light Lab - Learn Optics

Move, refract, and reflect light rays in real-time. Perfect for students and teachers exploring the science of light. Experience the wonder of optics!

Move light. Refract it. Reflect it. Light Lab is an interactive science app where you learn by playing with light.

【Discover the Magic of Light】 Touch the screen and move the light source. Rotate lenses and change refractive indices. Watch light rays change in real-time!

Create rainbows, bounce light off mirrors. "Why does this happen?" As you play, you'll naturally understand how light works.

【Perfect For】 ・Students learning about light in elementary or middle school ・Anyone studying light propagation, reflection, and refraction ・Teachers who want to make science class more engaging ・Anyone curious about optics

【What You Can Do】 ◆ Real-Time Light Manipulation Move light sources and lenses to see light rays change instantly. Rotation, translation, refractive index changes—all operations reflect in real-time.

◆ Place Various Lenses Triangular prisms, convex lenses, concave lenses, diamonds, spheres, mirrors, and more. Place up to 10 lenses simultaneously to recreate complex light behaviors. ※2 lens types are free (triangle prism, biconvex lens)

◆ 3 Types of Light Sources ・Parallel: Like sunlight ・Spotlight: Like a light bulb ・Dispersion: Rainbow-colored light

◆ Create Animations Save lens and light arrangements as "scenes." Connect multiple scenes to create animations showing how light transforms.

◆ Save and Share Save your creations in the app. Generate QR codes to share with friends and classmates.

【For Teachers】 Designed as an educational tool for classroom use. ・Visually understand light propagation, reflection, and refraction ・Simulate phenomena that are difficult to explain, like total internal reflection and dispersion ・Students can experiment independently—perfect for inquiry-based learning ・Save and share scenes as teaching materials Try it for free first!
