Lenses & image formation
Move the candle, lens and screen. Discover where a sharp image forms.
Try the experimentTurn curiosity into discovery with interactive physics labs. Move the equipment, change the conditions, and see the science happen.
These are screenshots from the working simulations. Choose a lab and make it your own.

The next question is yours.
Start with an idea you can put to the test.
Drag the equipment. Adjust a variable. Watch what changes.
Read the values, compare results and record your observations.
Inspect the apparatus in 3D or focus on a clear 2D diagram. Both have a place in your learning.
