Additive colour mixing

Principle

In the experiment on additive colour mixing, the students come to understand one of important, technical process for producing colour images.
They should first investigate the overlapping of two different coloured light beams and then, in a fur ...

Law of imagery for a convex lens

Principle

The law of imagery is generally first theoretically derived or - depending on the class's proficiency - simply stated and then experimentally confirmed or tested. The experimental test can be performed as suggested.
It is also possible to condu ...

The Galilean telescope

Principle

If you plan to cover both the astronomical and the Dutch telescopes in your physics course in that order, it is advisable to conduct similar experiments and to make comparisons between the two telescope types.
This procedure was followed in the ...

Rotation of the polarisation plane with a sugar solution

Principle

This experiment makes great demands on the students. The saccharimeter model must not only be meticulously constructed, but the measurements also require painstaking care. This is made even more difficult by the requirement for complete darkness in th ...

Law of lenses and optical instruments

Principle

The focal lengths of unknown lenses are determined by measuring the distances of image and object and by Bessel's method. Simple optical instruments are then constructed with these lenses.

Tasks

  1. To determine ...

Dispersion and resolving power of a prism and a grating spectroscope

Principle

The refractive indices of liquids, crown glass and flint glass are determined as a function of the wave length by refraction of light through the prism at minimum deviation. The resolving power of the glass prisms is determined from the dispersion curve.

...

Fresnel's law - theory of reflection

Principle

Plane-polarized light is reflected at a glas surface. Both the rotation of the plane of polarization and the intensity of the reflected light are to be determined and compared with Frewsnel's formulae for reflection.
