This java applet show you how to use the law of reflection (for optics) in playing pool. A ball bouncing off the bank of a pool table behaves like a light ray reflecting off a mirror.

There are two colored balls; red and blue.

How to play?

Set up an initial velocity for the red ball and

let the red ball knock the blue one into one of the six bags.

to set the initial velocity for the red ball.

The ball starts to move when you release the mouse button.

More information will be provided If you select level1 or level2.

Try it and find out the physics behind the game.

(For collision between two balls, please check out 2D Collision java applet)
