About This Product
A metre rule is the basic length measure in school physics: it is used to set object and image distances on an optical bench, measure pendulum lengths and extension in spring experiments, and act as a lever in moments practicals. The firm hardwood keeps it straight, and its edge doubles as a guide for drawing ray diagrams.
