Jungle of the Optics covers all of the areas common in AP-level Optics physics. This content includes:
· The basics of Light and Wave Theory
· Snell's Law
· Indices of Refraction
· Focal length and scale
· Circles of confusion and depth of field
· Lens assembly
· Telescopes
· Photography
· Reflection, glare, and critical angles
· Grating and diffraction
· X-Ray diffraction
· Young's single and double slits

Game puzzles are taken directly from an introductory Optical Physics textbook.

This image shows the formulas for calculating the focal point for an object. This diagram/ equation will be used for the spyglass/ camera levels. (Insert images)

The player will also be equipped with a digital Optical physics textbook that can be used as a resource. This textbook contains diagrams, formulas, and descriptions that the player can use to solve problems. The player will also be able to construct a fog chamber that can be used for testing lenses.
