Set of optical components for use in conjunction with a single-beam lamp (U40120) or multiple-beam lamp (U40110) on a white board (U10030 or U10031).
All components are lined with magnetic foil or furnished with a magnet holder and can be easily mounted and aligned on the white board. This apparatus permits a wide range of experiments demonstrating ray optics without the need for a dark room; handwritten notes can be added to provide a clearer explanation.
