Light Box P

Colours:

• Coloured light and coloured objects
• Mixture of colours

 Shadows:

• Casting shadows
• Coloured shadows

Reflection:

• Reflection from a plane mirror
• Reflected images, image reversal
• Multiple reflections from a mirror
• Reflection from a concave mirror (focal point and spherical aberration)
• Reflection from a parabolic mirror
• Reflection from a convex mirror

 Refraction:

• Determining refractive index with a semi-circular object
• Determining refractive index with a parallel block
• Angle of minimum deflection for a prism
• Total internal reflection in a semi-circular object
• Total internal reflection in a prism
• Focal point of a converging lens
• Focal point of a diverging lens
• Spherical aberration

Equipment set for the execution of bench-based optical experiments, consisting of a light box in a sturdy plastic housing and numerous optical components.

The complete set is housed in sturdy styrofoam storage case. The light box has four light outlets: front, back, and two side outlets with hinged mirrors for experiments on color mixing and shadows. All openings are equipped with mounts for optical components in 50 x 50 mm slide frames. Parallel, convergent, and divergent light can be generated by adjusting a mixer lens at the front of the lamp. There are two double-sided slit diaphragms available so that four different beam configurations can be created.
