CloudLabs Spherical mirrors vs LabOptique

This simulation recreates an optical table with a concave and a convex mirror, the goal is to find the focal length, the radius of the curvature and determine if the image is inverted or not. In the development of the practice, each of the mirrors can be placed on the optical table and two objects can be used to observe both the image that is formed, as well as its size, as the distance between the object and the mirror is varied.

Examine various aspects of geometric and wave optics: - Geometric optics: thin lenses, the concept of approximate stigmatism, depth of field, vision of the eye (accommodation, etc.). Possibility of combining multiple lenses, an eye... - Wave optics: from the concept of path difference (for senior year students) to the effects of a glass plate, the concept of coherence length..., in various situations: infinitely narrow or wide Young’s slits or holes, freely movable sources to recreate a Michelson interferometer, a diffraction grating, a Lloyd mirror, using either a monochromatic source or white light.
