Showing 5 experiments that use the Ray Optics Kit.
Dispersion
You will observe dispersion through an acrylic rhomboid and calculate the different indices of refraction for different color light.
Reflection
Experimentally confirm the Law of Reflection for a flat, concave, and convex mirror.

Refraction
Use Snell’s Law of refraction to experimentally determine the index of refraction of a D-shaped acrylic lens.
Dispersion
Observe dispersion through an acrylic rhomboid and calculate the different indices or refraction for different colors of light.
