experiments
  • 1 - Light and shadow

    experiment "Light and shadow"

    With the laser and the LED of the student lamp as well as the associated worksheet, the formation of shadows as a stitching optics is investigated.


  • 2 - Law of reflection

    experiment "Law of reflection"

    The law of reflection is discovered with the laser of the student lamp on the measuring table.


  • 3 - Curved mirrors

    experiment "Curved mirrors"

    The reflection of a parallel beam of light is reflected convex spherically, concavely spherically and concave parabolically on the surfaces. The test is carried out as a stitching optics.


  • 4 - Snell’s law of refraction

    experiment "Snell’s law of refraction"

    The transition of light from air to glass is investigated. Snellius's law of refraction is discovered and the refractive index of air in glass is determined experimentally.


  • 5 - Refraction and total internal reflection in water

    experiment "Refraction and total internal reflection in water"

    The transition of light from water to air is investigated. The refractive index of water and the limit angle of the total reflection are determined.


  • 6 - Focal point of a converging lens

    experiment "Focal point of a converging lens"

    In two partial tests, the focal points of a cut-collecting lens with the stitching optics are first determined. The focal point of a lens on the optical bench is then measured.
