Hartl Optical Disc
Product Code : EL-PLE-13215
Eduscope India is a leading Hartl Optical Disc
Quick Answer:Hartl Optical Discis a rotating 9-inch graduated disk with an adjustable ray box and 6 magnetic acrylic lenses/prisms for tracing ray paths.
The Hartl Optical Disc from our physics lab equipment India range is a compact apparatus that demonstrates the behavior of optical elements by means of ray paths through clear acrylic models, designed for studying ray optics as a trusted physics instruments supplier India relies on for lenses and prisms in physics laboratories.
Key Features
The apparatus is built around a circular, graduated disk measuring 9 inches in diameter, mounted on a stand and fitted with a ray box on an adjustable arm. This configuration allows the ray box to be positioned as required for each experiment while the graduated disk provides a surface for tracing ray paths. Narrow, parallel rays of light are produced across the surface of the disk by a cylindrical lens housed within the ray box, together with a pair of slit diaphragms placed in front of the lens. The ray box requires a separately supplied power source capable of providing 12V/2A for the lamp. The set includes six clear acrylic lenses and prisms, each fitted with a magnetic backing that allows it to be attached to the disk in any suitable position. The disk mounting allows it to be rotated through 360 degrees about an axis passing horizontally through its center, allowing students to investigate the effect of angle variation on the ray paths through the optical element models.
