In the simulation, it is possible to observe how light behaves in geometric optics, allowing to visualize and understand phenomena such as reflection and refraction of light, even in three different materials. In this way, the student can choose the number of media according to the needs of the problem, the student can study through the simulation the concepts of lateral deviation of light (choosing 3 media) or total internal reflection (choosing 2 media). The work was not applied to high school classes, however, we planned a didactic sequence that can be used by the teacher as support material when using the simulation. The didactic sequence includes a pre-test questionnaire, with the application of the simulation and finally with the post-test questionnaire. The pre-test questionnaire should be applied by the teacher before using the simulation, to diagnose possible difficulties of the students, while the post-test questionnaire should be applied by the teacher after the simulation, so that results can be obtained regarding the usefulness of the simulation developed, and can be used by the teacher as a partial or total form of evaluation of the content worked on.ptAttribution-NoDerivs 3.0 BrazilFísica - LicenciaturaFísica - Ensino - Simulação computacionalÓptica geométricaVPythonGeometric opticsPhysics - Teaching - SimulationTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoCIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA::FISICA
