1. Safety instructions
•
Warning! Lamps become extremely hot when op-
erated for prolonged periods of time.
•
Do not clean any of the optical components with
aggressive fluids or solvents. This could cause dam-
age!
2. Experiment examples
Experiment 1: Demonstration of various ray
beams
1.1 Equipment:
•
Optical bench U17150
•
Experimental lamp U17140
•
Object holder, shaft-mounted U17000
•
Fivefold slit from U17040
•
Convex lens f = +150 mm U17108
•
Projection screen U17125
•
3 optical riders 75 mm U17160
•
1 optical rider 30 mm U17161
•
Plug-in power supply unit U13900
1.2 Set up
•
Place the experimental lamp horizontally on the
rail at the 10 cm position.
•
Place the object holder with five-fold slit horizon-
tally on the rail at the 20 cm position
•
Place the convex lens at the 25 cm position.
•
Mount the projection screen on the small rider.
1.3 Procedure
•
When the convex lens is not used, the ray beam is
divergent.
•
When the convex lens is placed at the 25 cm posi-
tion we obtain a parallel beam of rays.
•
When the convex lens is moved away from the light
source a converging beam of rays is produced.
