Experiment set OPTICS 1

Description

All experiments can be done in daylight

This experiment set not only makes all the basic student experiments in geometric optics easier but also quicker to perform than equivalent experiments demonstrated by teachers, without losing any precision. Thanks to the very bright halogen bulb, the experiments can even be done in daylight.

Precisely parallel light beams without any calibration

The handy and strong experiment lamp produces a precisely parallel beam of light as soon as it is turned on without any need to adjust it. The lamp should simply be placed on a bench or table, connected to a 12-V power supply and then it is ready for use in experiments.

The double U-shaped profile on the aluminium lamp housing allows slides with 1, 2, 3 or 5 slits to be inserted in order to obtain a suitable number of parallel “rays”. Similarly the three-colour filter produces a set of three parallel beams in the primary colours, red, green and blue.

No additional equipment required

This experiment set does not need an optical bench or platform or any other similar apparatus. The frosted acrylic disc with angle graduations, with its thoroughly scratch-proof screen printing, allows readings to be taken quickly and precisely. The halogen bulb has an extremely long lifespan. However, it can still be changed quickly and easily as necessary
