  • Concave and Convex Mirrors
    PIRA Code(s): 6A20.45
    Set up time:none
    Operation: Use the different types of mirrors to compare reflection.
    Physics and Science Concepts: Geometrical Optics, Reflection
    Safety: Do not shine bright light into mirror.
  • Diffraction Gratings
    PIRA Code(s): 6D20.10
    Set up time:none
    Operation: For best results, observe the sun, moon, or fluorescent lights through the films.
    Physics and Science Concepts: Optics, Light Spectrum
    Safety: Keep fingerprints off film.
  • Newton’s Rings
    PIRA Code(s): 6D30.10
    Set up time:none
    Operation: Shine light through the rings so that they are reflected onto a wall. An overhead is good for this. Turn the screws on the frame to change the interference pattern.
    Physics and Science Concepts: Interference
    Safety: Over head projector may be obtained from demo 9A36.10.
