Ray Optics
Ray Optics is a complete simulator and solver for Geometrical optics.Key Features :
- 1) Simulate any ray optics problem. 2) Complete ray diagram 3) Final Image position, height and magnification. 4) Compete step by step solution in great detail. This way you just don't get the final answer but also understand all steps to get that answer. (In Pro Version only) 5) Pinch zoom 6) Save screen-shot
Pro version has following Additional features1) Step by step solution for your Ray Optics problems.2) See step-by-step solution. You can also Email or save it to your SD card.3) In future all new features will be available in this version only.
You can move lens/mirrors by dragging them and see ray diagram and image position in real time.This will help you to have a clear visualization of Ray Optics concepts. Also the detailed solution will help you to understand Ray Optics fundamentals and formulas required to solve any problem.You can also understand concepts of reflection and refraction and their implication in real time.
This will be equally helpful for students studying Geometrical Optics and teachers teaching this topic.And all other people in love with Physics :)
All Features:
- Geometric optics solver and simulator
- Refraction and reflection with full ray diagram support
- Editable object, lens and mirror properties Support for Concave and convex lenses Concave and convex and Plane mirrors Glass slabs
- Formation of Virtual and real images
- Under advanced mode, you can even shift principal axis of lens and mirrors. ( for real geeks :D)
GUI Features
- Dragging origin : you can drag around origin.
- Pinch Zoom
- Save screenshot
- See complete solution for problem.
* Based on thin lens equation
==============================================How to Use: 1) Adding Elements Click on corresponding button to add that element. This way the element with default parameter will be added. 2) To Modify an Element Press on element and EditPanel will appear on screen showing current parameters. Now any parameter can be edited by corresponding textFied. Pressing on delete button (present in bottom right corner) will delete selected element.3) See Solution Press on solution button ( present next to help button in top-right corner ).3) To delete all elements, press Clear from menu.===============================================
I will keep on improving it. Suggestions/Comments are invited.

nice app. would be a lot better if there were other types of lenses as well. (bi-concave and plano convex etc. Also, some improvement can be made in the overall graphics and interface.
If you could include a ray diagram of an actual simple optical device, such as a telescope having one objective and one eyepiece, it would really help me understanding how the app helps analyzing lens configurations. Also, what is a "slab"? Thank you.
It is amazing Application. It completely boosts the knowledge of many persons. It is very nice that for my 12th Standard I installed this excellent App. It shows the very good explanation by giving animations. Keep it up.πππππ
Super nice app π I tried making two lens (focus f each) with a distance of 3f, and tried finding the cases for real image. And it was a success. Thanks a lot π.
Very nice... Our teacher helped us by teaching this topic with this app. Very helpful... Thanks to the editor for making this application. You guys are helping many students like me by this β₯
I downloaded this to test out my idea on increasing the range on infrared sensors. It was helpful.
It is a very good app but it should be added focus point and centre of curvature and pole also please add this it's my humble request.
It is actually a good app for understanding the concepts of light π‘π‘π‘
Keyboard does not disappear after entering lens data so you can't see the ray trace.
Turning boring optics topic into fun for students, go ahead keep going!
Can't even use the app(press button )coz of ads
Very limited features.
Ads cover 1/5 of screen, useless
Very nice app for educational purposes
Good but limited scope.
F and 2f of convex mirror is wrong,lens do nat follow sign convention
very best for lab technician to forecast readings
this app is very niceππππ
Nice and juicy app π
Thank you so much!!!
This is all I needed β€οΈ
like this app
Excellent app design and interface .... helped me in projects .. one thing as a user and coder i suggest you to include slabs of user defined refractive index, also insert prisms of user defined parameters ... also with upcoming updates u can introduce wave optics as well that wud be gr8 with same type of interface in your app.
നലΰ΅ΰ΄²ΰ΄€ΰ΄Ύΰ΄£ΰ΅.good user interaction..but pro version is only usefull. pocket optics looks like free version of this. anyway good work
These apps are highly useful for those who want to learn basics of lenses. Best is to test with single lens.
I downloaded a few such apps and this was the only clear and functional example. Aided my understanding of photography.
If you could keep the option for virtual object it'd have been great!
I recommend it to all optics user. It's very good for beginners.
This application is honestly very wonderful according to what i have tried yet. Rather it's perfectly fit as per it's compact size. Great job. It's helping me a lot to figure out lots of problems. One thing they can add like that, if we want to add some sort material with some refractive index then it could've been possible.
