U17040 Set of slits and diaphragms

Instruction sheet

6/03 ALF

®

The set of slits and diaphragms can be used in a vari­ety of experiments on geometrical and wave optics.

1. Description, technical data

The set of slits and diaphragms consists of five optical
objects in slide frames 50 mm x 50 mm.

1 Slit Slit width 1 mm
1 Threefold slit Slit width 1 mm

Slit spacing 5 mm

1 Fivefold slit Slit width 1 mm

Slit spacing 5 mm
1 Apertured diaphragm 8 mm Ø
1 “F-diaphragm”

2. Examples of use

• The slits are used for the generation of rays or
beams of light for experiments on refraction, re­flection, determination of focal lengths of lenses
and mirrors etc.

• The apertured diaphragm finds use e.g. with the
demonstration of lens abberations, spherical and
chromatic.

• Use the “F-diaphragm” with the proof of the lens
laws e.g. magnification, image, Camera obscura.
