Introduction

biconvex

biconcave

The PASCO SE-9767 Visible Ray Optics Set is com­prised of four large plastic lenses that allow students to
see the reflection, refraction, diffusion, or condensation of
light beams within the lenses as the light passes through
them. The curvature of the faces of the convex and con­cave lenses is equivalent, so they can be used in combina­tion for light experiments.
