About

CloudLabs Geometric optics

Features
Read full description

In this free practice, a table is available for the study of geometric optics, where it is possible to select and use lenses, mirrors, light sources, test objects, and filters, among other instruments, whose position and angle can be adjusted. The images formed by the objects can be visualized through an electronic eye and the optical phenomena, through an electronic screen.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CloudLabs Geometric optics at none against Optics's 1. Optics's advantage is iOS requirement (7.0 vs 9.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
