LCP-3 Optics Experiment Kit – Enhanced Model
It can be used to construct a total of 26 different experiments which can be grouped in six categories:
- Lens Measurements: Understanding and verifying lens equation and optical rays transform.
- Optical Instruments: Understanding the working principle and operation method of common lab optical instruments.
- Interference Phenomena: Understanding interference theory, observing various interference patterns generated by different sources, and grasping one precise measurement method based on optical interference.
- Diffraction Phenomena: Understanding diffraction effects, observing various diffraction patterns generated by different apertures.
- Analysis of Polarization: Understanding polarization and verifying polarisation of light.
- Fourier Optics and Holography: Understanding principles of advanced optics and their applications.
