Optics System 2 - code: 4864.29

An intermediate system for geometrical and physical optics. The Optics System 2 is designed to study composition of light, light polarization, refraction index as well as many additional aspects of light refl ection and refraction. The system contains a Hartl apparatus, which allows the student to perform many experiments related to the reflection of light on mirrors and to the refraction through transparent bodies. Also included is our specially designed Altay Optics Box, designed to investigate polarisation in various solutions. Additionally you can study photoresistance, photometry and verification of Malus' Law.
