Reflection

Wolfram|Alpha provides a wide range of formulas involving the reflection of light, including formulas for computing total internal reflection, Fresnel's law or the plate reflectance of a Fabry–Pérot interferometer. Compute the behavior of light interacting with a concave or convex mirror.
Reflection

Examine how light is reflected in mirrors, interferometers and other media.

Explore image reflection in a convex mirror:

diverging mirror with a focal length of 2m and an object at 3m

Explore image reflection in a concave mirror:

converging mirror with a focal length of 50mm
concave mirror with magnification of 2 and an object at 2m
