PrismForge

PrismForge teaches optics as a **family of light-behaviors** — reflection, refraction, dispersion, lens action, color mixing, and the wave/photon dualities.

Level 1

Experiment with light

Two hands-on optics surfaces — trace real light rays on a bench, and explore the electromagnetic spectrum and the colors of light.

Optics Bench ✨ new Predict what light will do, then set a lens, mirror, or prism and watch a real ray-trace bend, reflect, focus, or split it to reach the target. Spectrum Explorer ✨ new Order the electromagnetic spectrum from radio to gamma, see what color each wavelength looks, and mix colors of light and paint.

Practice the concepts

16 kits from the basics of light up to advanced optics synthesis — a short round of questions with a hint whenever you get stuck. Your progress stays on this device.
