AngleFunctionTransformation
This example demonstrates the phenomenon of total internal reflection. Key mathematical concepts include reflection laws and angle relationships. Using GeoGebra commands such as Point, Angle, If, and Segment, the animation dynamically shows how light behaves when it hits different media interfaces. Suitable for high school physics and mathematics education.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Point(f) → B
  2. Point(f) → C
  3. Point(g) → D
  4. Point(g) → E
  5. Point(f) → H
  6. Point(yAxis) → A
  7. Angle(H, B, A) → α
  8. Point(yAxis) → F
  9. Angle(E, B, F) → β
  10. If(4.7 < angle < 4.9, "Critical Angle", "Incident Angle") → text2
  11. Point(a) → I
  12. Segment(G, I) → h
  13. If(angle > 4.9, "Total Internal Reflection", "Refraction") → text1

AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Create an interactive animation demonstrating total internal reflection, showing how light behaves when hitting different media interfaces. Include incident angle α and refracted angle β, display 'Critical Angle' when the angle is between 4.7 and 4.9, and 'Total Internal Reflection' when it's greater. Show light traveling from one medium to another, with angles and segments representing reflection and refraction, dynamically changing to illustrate the light's behavior.
