EISCO Deluxe Optics Kit - Mirrored Light/Ray Box & 29 Optical Components - Includes Manual

The most complete kit for studying light and optics is available in this versatile set, which includes a light/ray box with hinged mirrors and 29 optical components. This kit is perfect for conducting a wide range of experiments on reflection, refraction, and color mixing. The light/ray box features a 12V, 24A halogen lamp that can produce convergent, divergent, or parallel beams. One end of the box includes an adjustable cylindrical convex lens for creating parallel beams, while the other end has a triple aperture system for color mixing experiments (the lateral aperture comes with an adjustable hinged mirror). All apertures in the box have vertical channels for holding slit plates and color filters.

In addition to the light/ray box, the kit includes a comprehensive instruction guide with 18 activities. The components included in the kit are: a lamp holder, 12V (20W) bulbs, 4mm banana plug leads, slit plates, mounted color filters, color cards, prisms (rectangular, 45/45/90, equilateral, 30/60/90 triangular, semicircular), lenses (bi-concave, bi-convex), mirrors (plane mirror on stand, parabolic mirror, semicircular mirror), a semicircular dish, and a manual.

While the kit provides a wide range of components for experiments, a 12V DC power supply for the ray box is required but not included. Additionally, rulers, protractors, and paper are needed for conducting the activities outlined in the manual. Some of the activities covered in the manual include diffraction, the angle of reflection using a plane mirror, refraction of different shaped prisms, Snell's Law of refraction, dispersion of light (including rainbows), mixing colors, understanding concave and convex mirrors, ray diagrams for lenses, and examining how the eye works. This kit is a valuable resource for students studying physics and wanting to explore the behavior of light and optics in a hands-on way.
