Geometrical and Wave Optics Laboratory Kit
The Geometrical and Wave Optics Laboratory Kit is intended for use in secondary and higher education institutions in physics laboratories and classrooms by teachers and students for performing demonstration experiments and practical work in optics and quantum physics in accordance with the current national physics curricula. The kit enables students to become familiar with the fundamental principles of optical and quantum theory, verify the laws of reflection, study the laws of reflection and refraction of light, learn the basics of photometry, and investigate the phenomenon of light polarization, among other topics. It also helps develop students’ experimental skills and research abilities.
