Physics Classroom is making strides to make our site accessible to everyone, and features many accessibility features.

Our site contains 6 navigation areas. The Primary, Secondary, and Page Level navigations have a screen reader version of their nav structure that allows using the left and right keys to navigate sibling navigation items, and up or down keys to navigate parent or child navigation items. The others can be navigated using tabs.

Within the main content, we leverage headers to provide in page or in tool navigation.

Although we are still rebuilding our content to leverage these tools, our images should have both short and verbose descriptions, the later describing in great detail the image for those who cannot see. Any formulas found within the images are often in the image figure below the image.

Equations and formulas are rendered using MathJax, which has both verbal, braille (including nemath braille), and keyboard navigation within them. Learn how to configure and leverage this for various screen readers on our Equation Navigation Page.

While not every area of Physics Classroom is usable purely from keyboard and screen reader, we are committed to continue work on making this possible. If you have questions or need additional help, please use this link to contact us .

Refraction and Lenses Review

Description: The Refraction and Lenses Review includes 46 questions of varying type. Questions pertain to light refraction, total internal reflection and image formation by lenses. Snell's law is used to analyze the refraction of light at the boundary between two transparent materials. Ray diagrams and the lens equation are used to analyze the object-image relationships for converging and diverging lenses. The following concepts are emphasized: refraction, Snell's law, angle of incidence, angle of refraction, least time principle, boundary behavior, total internal reflection, critical angle, lenses, diverging lenses, converging lenses, focal point, real versus virtual images, inverted versus upright images, lens equation, and magnification equation.

The Review is available in three versions:

  1. Printable Version
    The printable version includes only the questions. There are no answers and no links to online help. It's perfect for printing and using as a practice test.
     
  2. Questions with Links
    This version includes questions with links to online help that is pertinent to each question.
     
  3. Finally, you can use the Answers Version of the Review. This inludes questions, answers, explanations/solutions, and links to online help that is pertinent to each question. This version is available with all the questions on one page or with a portion of the questions on one page.

  2. Minds On Physics the App Series

    Minds On Physics the App ("MOP the App") is a series of interactive questioning modules for the student that is serious about improving their conceptual understanding of physics. Each module of the series covers a different topic and is further broken down into sub-topics. A "MOP experience" will provide a learner with challenging questions, feedback, and question-specific help in the context of a game-like environment. It is available for phones, tablets, Chromebooks, and Macintosh computers. It's a perfect resource for those wishing to refine their conceptual reasoning abilities. Part 6 of the series includes topics in Refraction and Lenses.
