Geometric Optics - Optics | Focal Length | Lenses - PhET Interactive Simulations

How does a lens or mirror form an image? See how light rays are refracted by a lens or reflected by a mirror. Observe how the image changes when you adjust the focal length of the lens, move the object, or move the screen.
