About This Product
With a ray box, students trace light through each block to measure angles of incidence and refraction, check Snell’s law and find the refractive index of acrylic. The lens-shaped pieces show converging and diverging beams and support work on the thin lens equation. The Optical Set, Acrylic, Seven Pieces can be supplied on export terms to Burundi, Liberia, Syria, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Namibia.
