Prism Lab vs Visual Basic (VB.NET) Compiler

Prism Lab is an optics bench in your pocket. Put a piece of glass on the graph paper, aim the laser at it, and watch the light bend, bounce and split, with every angle measured for you. It follows the experiments from a school ray box kit, so it works as a companion to the lab or on its own. THE BENCH • Nine pieces: a simple surface, 45-90-45 and 60-60-60 prisms, rectangle, square, semicircle, convex and concave lenses, and an optical fibre. • Drag the laser and where it aims. The angles of incidence, refraction and reflection update as you move. • Tap any angle and type the value you want. The laser swings there so you can see how it gets to it. • One, three or five parallel beams, to find the focus of a lens. MATERIALS • 119 materials for the piece and for what surrounds it: glasses, liquids, gems and gases, each with its refractive index. • The critical angle is worked out for every pair, and you can see total internal reflection happen. COLOUR • White light opens into a spectrum, because each colour bends by its own amount. • 77 materials use published dispersion data. For the rest the app tells you the spread is an estimate. • Red, yellow, green, blue and violet lasers, in the width you choose. LIGHTS OFF • Turn the lights off and the beams glow, as in a dark classroom. NO STRINGS • No account, no ads, and no data collected. • Everything is free. If you find it useful you can buy the developers a coffee. In English, Spanish and French, for iPhone and iPad.

Write VB.NET code directly on your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch! This app is ideal for learning and testing code snippets! Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is a multi-paradigm, object-oriented programming language, implemented on the .NET Framework. Microsoft launched VB.NET in 2002 as the successor to its original Visual Basic language. Along with Visual C#, VB.NET is one of the two main languages targeting the .NET framework. Features: - Compile and run your program - View program output or detailed error - Custom keyboard for easy input of frequently used characters - Optimized for connecting with external physical/bluetooth keyboard - Advanced source code editor with syntax highlighting, bracket completion and line numbers - Open, save, import and share VB.NET files. Limitations: - Internet connection is required for compilation - Maximum program running time is 20s - One file can be run at a time - Some file system, network and graphics functions may be limited - This is a batch compiler; interactive programs are not supported. For example, if your program provides an input prompt, enter the input in the Input tab prior to compilation.
