Light and Optics Experiment Kit

Kit Description:

This Light and Optics Experiment Kit was created by LASER-TEC and is available for purchase. This kit was designed to help students explore geometric optics, wave optics, and the basics of lasers. This kit provides all necessary tools and materials to conduct over 18 experiments. Each kit includes the Experiment Book, which includes 23 laboratories and provides step-by-step student guidance in their experiment-based investigation of optics and lasers. ​

Kit Content:

The purchased kit includes the following materials: a copy of the Experiment Book, an acrylic block, laser pointer, LED flashlights, semiconductor laser diode, safety glasses, diffraction grating, polarization wheel, polarization film, and much more. The laboratories include: Laser safety, Care ad Cleaning for High-Grade Optical Components, The Law of Reflection, The Law of Refraction, Finding the Speed of Light in an Acrylic Block, Total Internal Reflection, Measuring the Focal Length of a Bi-Concave Lens, Measuring the Focal Length of a Fresnel Lens, Beam-Expanding Collimators, Optical Alignment Techniques, Determining Laser Wavelength Using Grating, The Spectrum of White Light, Interference and Diffraction Through a Pinhole, Interference and Diffraction Through a Slit, Measuring Diameter of Human Hair using Diffraction, Polarization of Light, and Semiconductor Laser Diode Basics.

Collection Description:

This collection includes a kit inventory list and experiment 6. Total Internal reflection. The 6-page experiment includes an introduction, equipment needed, learning outcomes, and the procedure. Learning outcomes include the following: Demonstrate the total internal reflection in the arcylic rod, Set-up the total internal reflection experiment, measure, and record relevant data, Using the experiment data and Snell's law, calculate the critical angle, and list common applications of the total internal reflection phenomena.
