This video from Laser-Tec is part of a series of light and optics experiments. In this lab, participants measure laser beam divergence, calculate a laser beam's diameter, determine the divergence of an HeNe laser, and calculate beam waist. Equipment includes a laser diode module, laser holder, two...

This video from Laser-Tec is part of a series of light and optics experiments. In this lab, participants trace light rays traveling through a right angle prism, use experiment data to verify the law of refraction and reflection, demonstrate the total internal reflection in a right angle prism, and...

This video from Laser-Tec is part of a series of light and optics experiments. This lab explores laser safety. Through this lab, participants learn about the main properties of laser light, the difference between coherent and incoherent light sources, laser safety rules, and the absorption of laser...

This video from Laser-Tec is part of a series of light and optics experiments. In this lab, participants explore the law of reflection by using lasers and learn about how light interacts with matter. Equipment includes a laser pointer, two mirrors on wooden blocks, a protractor, pencil, and white...

This video from Laser-Tec is part of a series of light and optics experiments. In this lab, participants learn about Snell's law of refraction by using experiment data to calculate the angle of refraction for the green laser light on the air-acrylic boundary. Equipment includes a laser pointer, an...
