Other Products for Use with the Optics Expansion Kit
Vernier Dynamics System (VDS)
The Vernier Dynamics System consists of a track, two low-friction dynamics carts,
and associated accessories for dynamics experiments.
Vernier Light Sensor (LS-BTA)
The Vernier Light Sensor approximates the human eye in spectral response and can
be used over three different illumination ranges, which can be selected with a switch.
Track-to-Track Coupler (T2T-VDS)
The Track-to-Track Coupler rigidly connects two tracks for larger experiments and
demonstrations.
Combination Dynamics Track/Optics Bench (TRACK)
The track is a low-friction black anodized track and optics bench combination
designed for kinematics, dynamics, and optics experiments.
Mirror Set (M-OEK)
The Mirror Set extends the kit to allow students to easily study image formation by
concave and convex mirrors. The set includes a concave mirror, a convex mirror,
and a half screen for viewing images formed by mirrors.
Color Mixer Kit (CM-OEK)
The Color Mixer Kit consists of a three-color LED source, a lens, and a screen.
These can be used to study the mixing of red, blue, and green light by additive and
subtractive mixing.
Polarizer/Analyzer Kit (PAK-OEK)
The Polarizer/Analyzer Set extends the Optics Expansion Kit to allow students to
study polarization of light. Using a Rotary Motion Sensor to record analyzer angle,
Malus’s Law experiments are easy, detailed, and accurate.
Diffraction Apparatus (DAK)
The Diffraction Apparatus consists of a laser light source, a collection of diffraction
and interference slits, and a novel Linear Position Sensor and High Sensitivity Light
Sensor.
