Track recap

Compact review built from the authored track order and the same local-first concept progress already saved in this browser.

Wave Optics

Not started

Follow the bounded wave-optics branch from polarization into diffraction, double-slit interference, color-dependent refraction, and imaging limits so the newer optics pages read like one compact path instead of isolated stops.

Recap mode stays available, but it becomes useful after you save some local progress in the track.

How it works

Same authored sequence, lighter revisit.

Recap mode does not invent a second curriculum. It keeps the existing starter-track order, then changes the prompt and suggested action with the current mastery and progress signals.

Keep using concept pages

Quick tests, challenge mode, worked examples, and read-next stay where they already live.

Recap links only jump you to the most useful surface for a fast review. The simulation-first concept pages still carry the real teaching work and keep the guided path intact.

Recap steps

Revisit the track in the same authored order.

Focus badges and button targets come from the current mastery and progress signals. The next ready checkpoint still stays in the loop.

    Polarization

    Polarization is still the next guided step in this authored order. No finished quick test, solved challenge, or completion mark is saved yet.
