PrismForge

Explore optics as a family of light-behaviors — reflection, refraction, dispersion, lenses, and color — one careful ray at a time.

Experiment with light

Hands-on optics surfaces — trace real light rays on a bench, trap light inside a fiber, and explore the electromagnetic spectrum and the colors of light.

Optics Bench 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. Fiber Optics Lab ✨ new Predict whether a light ray stays trapped inside an optical fiber or leaks out — then sweep the angle and watch total internal reflection happen. The physics behind every fiber optic cable. Spectrum Explorer 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.

Play together

Go head-to-head with a friend — same device or an online room.

PrismForge Duel (pass-and-play) 2–4 players take turns on one device — same questions, highest first-try score wins. Or open an online room to play a friend on another device. PrismForge Journey — follow the map → A path through every kit. Clear each stop, then move on — see how far you’ve come.

Mixed practice

Mixed practice — revisit what you've learned A short round that shuffles questions from the kits you've played, brought back when they're ready to review. Great for making it stick. PrismForge Sprint — a calm speed round → Once you’ve mastered a few kits, race your OWN best on what you already know. Timer optional, no penalty for a miss.

Same idea, another world

Something you practice here shows up somewhere else too — that's real learning that travels.

Light bouncing off a mirror — angle in equals angle out — is the same flip-across-a-line as reflecting a shape over its mirror line.The shared idea: reflection — a ray bounces off a mirror so the angle in equals the angle out, the same flip-across-a-line as reflecting a shape over its line of symmetryTry GeometryForge →
