I was wondering what would be the best module to use narrow, directed beams of light and their affect upon small objects in the 10^8m-10^7m range. I know of the ray optics moduale but I am unsure if it will be affective on those small scales. Of particular intrest would be to see affects due to snell's law and the path that the light ends up taking.
All the best, Owen Steele.

Did you mean 10^-8m-10^-7m (aka, 10 nanometers to 100 nanometers) range? If so, and if you are talking about visible light (wavelength about 400-700 nanometers) then the RF module might be a good fit, at least if your goal is to model phenomena that can be described by classical electromagnetism.

Yes. The wavelength of the EMR I am going for is 700nm. The object size is also within the 10-100 nanometer range. So we would use the Radio Frequency module going off what you are saying.
