Key Features
- Produces a clear, focused beam through a light slit.
- Plastic housing with an LED or other light source.
- Used with mirrors, lenses and prisms for reflection and refraction.
- Colour filters can be added to study different colours of light.
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Housing | Plastic, with LED or other light source |
| Components | Mini ray box, light slit, lenses; filters optional |
| Power | Battery or low-voltage supply |
| Safety | Avoid direct eye exposure to the beam |
How It Is Used
Place the ray box on a flat surface, switch it on and aim the beam at a mirror, lens or prism. Students trace the incident and emerging rays and measure the angles of incidence and refraction. Do not look directly into the beam.
