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
reflection 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.
