Hollow prism and raindrop model:
-
The OPTICS 3 experiment set extends image and shadow experiments with additional studies on prism spectra and rainbows
-
Lens and mirror frames are marked with principal planes for precise measurements
-
Distances can be measured with an accuracy of up to 0.5 mm
-
A hollow prism filled with water produces a clear spectrum
-
Blocking the red light and adding sugar allows investigation of refractive index vs concentration
-
A raindrop model filled with water enables creation of a realistic rainbow experiment
The universal track is also used as an optical bench:
- The same profiled rail from MECHANICS sets is used as an optical bench
- The scale begins about 15 cm from the end of the rail
- Objects (slides) can be placed directly at the zero mark
- Enables easy and precise measurement of object and image distances
- The universal track is not included in the set
Enhancement with wave optics:
- The OPTICS 3 set can be upgraded with the OPTICS 3 plus set
- Removing the cover reveals storage slots for diffraction and polarisation components
