Set of 7 optical bodies
Product Code : SCL-OS-12822
Quick Answer: The Set of 7 Optical Bodies is a ray optics set of seven bodies, each demonstrating a principle such as refraction, convergence, divergence, total internal reflection or dispersion. With a ray box or narrow beam on white paper, students trace incident, refracted, reflected and emergent rays.

About This Product
A narrow beam aimed at each body in turn shows a different behaviour of light, from bending at a surface to splitting into colours or reflecting totally inside the material. Tracing the rays on paper gives students a record to compare with ray diagrams and to discuss refractive index and focal length. Educational Instrument can arrange export supply of the Set of 7 optical bodies to Ghana, Liberia, Benin, Egypt and Oman.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Set of 7 Optical Bodies used?
Place one body on white paper or an optical bench, direct a ray box or narrow light beam at it and trace the incident, refracted, reflected and emergent rays. Repeat with each body and compare.
