Wave Simulation
Wave simulation displaying the interference of a body of water from water droplets, as well as the propagation of the waves. Adjusting the amplitude increases the size of the waves, and adjusting the droplet velocity allows the droplets to fall at a faster rate.

Light Polarizer Simulation
Light polarizer simulation displaying the linearly polarized light passing through a polarizer. Linearly polarized light is oscillating as a sine wave by using the sine of the phase angle, while circularly polarized light forms a circle by using the sine and cosine of the phase angle. Unpolarized light uses the sine and cosine of the phase angle, but with random amplitude and phase. Adhering to Malus’s law, the intensity and phase of the light will change as it passes through the polarizer depending on the angle of the polarizer.

Wave Reflection Simulation
Wave reflection simulation demonstrating how initial light reflects off a smooth surface at an angle equal to the angle of incidence, adhering to the law of reflection. In contrast, a rough surface not only reflects part of the light at the angle of incidence but also scatters other portions at random angles due to the irregularities of the surface.

Wave Reflection/Refraction Simulation
Wave reflection/refraction simulation displaying the reflection and refraction of light when the light transfers to mediums with different refractive indices. The change in refractive indices does not affect the reflected light but does affect the refracted light. Adhering to Snell’s law, the refracted light will bend towards the normal when going from a lower to higher refractive index, while it will bend away from the normal when going from a higher to lower refractive index. Air has a refractive index of 1.0003, while glass has an index of 1.52 and water has an index of 1.33.
