Optical Bench system is designed to be used with the ‘Hodson’ Light Box. The ‘Hodson’ Light Box can be used as the light source for the Optical Bench and the lens and prism blocks from the Light Box kit can be used on the Optical Bench. The study of colours and shadows is performed from the mirror end of the light box and the study of light rays and the creation of images is performed from the front end of the light box. The 1.2m long aluminium rail with the 1m adjustable scale holds all the components in a straight line for accurate experiments. The kit contains lenses, prisms, screen, prism table, targets and holders for lenses, slits, plates and targets. These are all the components required for basic optical experiments of focal lengths, images, diffraction and much more.
