2. Examples of use
• The slits are used for the generation of rays or
beams of light for experiments on refraction, re-
flection, determination of focal lengths of lenses
and mirrors etc.
• The apertured diaphragm finds use e.g. with the
demonstration of lens abberations, spherical and
chromatic.
• Use the “F-diaphragm” with the proof of the lens
laws e.g. magnification, image, Camera obscura.
