PrismForge — a bright optics world of light, lenses and rainbows

PrismForge

Explore optics as a family of light-behaviours — reflection, refraction, dispersion, lenses, and colour — one careful ray at a time. Trace a ray on a bench, trap light inside a fiber, and mix the colours of light.

Run an optics bench Mix colours of light
Level 1

Start here

Optics Bench Set a lens, mirror, or prism — predict, then watch a real ray-trace bend and split. Fiber Optics Lab Predict whether the ray stays trapped — then watch total internal reflection. Spectrum Explorer Order the EM spectrum radio-to-gamma and see the colour of each wavelength. Color-Mixing Lab Predict the colour when lights mix or paints mix — why light makes yellow, paint makes black.
Brain Break Take a quiet moment between experiments — a fun science riddle or a short breather. Brain breaks help you remember what you learn.

Experiment with 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 Predict whether a light ray stays trapped inside an optical fiber or leaks out — then sweep the angle and watch total internal reflection happen. Spectrum Explorer Order the electromagnetic spectrum from radio to gamma, see what colour each wavelength looks, and mix colours of light and paint. Color-Mixing Lab Predict the colour when lights mix or paints mix — then reveal the true swatch. See why red and green LIGHT make bright yellow, but three paints make near-black.

Practice & play

Mixed Practice A short round across the kits you have played — brought back to make it stick. PrismForge Sprint Race your OWN best on what you already know. Timer optional, no penalty for a miss. Trick Questions Brain-teasers with a twist — spot why the obvious answer is a trap. Teach the Cast Teach a light idea to a cast member still learning it — teaching makes it stick. PrismForge Duel 2–4 players take turns on one device — same questions, highest first-try score wins. Light Journey A progression trail through every kit — clear each stop of real practice, then move on. Progress Your levels, days active, and how each skill area is coming along — saved on this device. Progress report For grown-ups — a private on-device snapshot mapped to the skill areas.

Concept Kits — 16 kits from the basics of light to advanced optics

From the foundations of light through the spectrum, colour, lenses, and devices — a short round with a hint whenever you get stuck. Progress stays on this device.

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 symmetry Try GeometryForge →
