The Light Box & Optical Set is an essential tool for teaching and exploring fundamental concepts in optics and light physics. Originally designed in 1971, this kit has been continuously improved to ensure precision and high-quality performance. The advanced moulding technique and superior tooling create flat, accurate, and crystal-clear components, making it ideal for scientific experiments. With a comprehensive experiment manual included, this set provides a hands-on approach to understanding the behaviour of light, reflection, refraction, and colour blending.
Educational Benefits:
- Demonstrates key optical principles, including light propagation, reflection, refraction, and colour mixing.
- Encourages hands-on learning through guided experiments.
- Provides a clear understanding of how lenses and prisms manipulate light.
- Supports STEM education by fostering inquiry-based learning.
Classroom Integration Ideas:
- Conduct experiments on refraction using acrylic prisms.
- Explore colour mixing using filters and swinging mirrors.
- Demonstrate lens behaviour with concave and convex lenses.
- Use the light box to illustrate the formation of shadows and ray optics.
Product Specifications:
- Light Box with adjustable collimating lens for producing parallel beams and rays.
- Two swinging mirrors for colour blending.
- Spare 12V 30W Quartz Halogen globe included.
- Set of 3 double-ended slit formers for single, double, triple, and four-slit experiments.
- Eight colour filters and plates: Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange, Cyan, Magenta, and Violet.
- Acrylic optics components:
- Rectangular, half-round, and triangular prisms.
- Bi-concave and bi-convex lenses (various focal lengths).
- Curved mirrors (parabolic and half-round).
- Plain mirror on stand.
- Optics experiment book included for guided exploration.
Power Supply Specifications:
- Input: 220/240V AC, 50/60Hz, 0.5 Amp.
- Output: Adjustable AC/DC power settings (2V-12V) with overload protection.
- On/Off Control: Illuminated rocker switch for convenience.
- Safety Features: Short-circuit and overload protection with automatic reset.
This versatile optics kit is ideal for secondary school and university-level physics lessons, allowing students to engage in practical investigations that enhance their understanding of light and optics.
