Game of Light

It's the game of light! Step right up and line up your reflectors and refractors and get the light to the appropriate color receivers. Open up gates to help get to some of the receivers and be prepared for the level that goes invisible. Make sure you track the light you are sending to the receivers too. So much to manage with so little time!

Activity 2: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Wave Interference - Interference

Explore how a pair of wave sources create an interference pattern. Adjust the source frequency and separation, and determine how to change the interference pattern. Identify points of constructive and destructive interference by eye, and by using the detectors. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Lumus Journey

This game will help you learn more about light and its properties. You'll befriend a lightbulb who will take you on a journey. This lightbulb will help you discover how: light travels in waves, the different ways light is transmitted, and how light is absorbed or reflected. This game is a fun way to learn about the transmission of light.
