U14600 Optics on magnetic boards, basic set
3/03 ALF
®
The demonstration equipment set (basic set) is for the
conducting of numerous demonstration experiments
in geometric optics, e.g. casting of shadows, laws of
reflection, laws of refraction, total reflection, angle of
least deflection in prisms, focal lengths of mirrors and
lenses, laws of lenses and imaging errors.
1. Safety instructions
• Beware. Lights become hot when left on for a long
period.
• Do not clean optical elements with highly active
fluids or solvents. This may result in damage.
2. Description, technical data
All optical elements in the basic set are coated with
magnetic foil and are available separately.
