Introduction
The Ray Table is designed for use with the included D-shaped
lens (and other components) to measure angles of incidence,
refraction, and reflection. To change these angles, you can
rotate the upper half of the ray table while non-skid feet keep
the base firmly in place. Pencil marks are easily erased from
the table’s white surface, so you can mark angles and trace
the light source and the ray table close together on a lab bench
or other flat surface. Position the light source so that the ray
crosses the center of the ray table; rotate the ray table to place
one of the 0° marks on the incident ray.

ponent” line on the table, and the lens’s curved surface is concentric with the table.
Rotate the table to change the angle of incidence and observe
how the angles of the refracted and reflected rays change. If
you look down through the lens, you can see that the rays are
refracted only at the flat surface, not at the curved surface.
