OPTICAL BENCH

An Optical Bench is a precise instrument used to study the basic principles of light and image formation. It is widely used in physics laboratories, training centers, and educational setups. The bench supports accurate positioning and alignment of lenses, mirrors, screens, and light sources. Its long wooden baseboard, clear millimetre scale, and smooth sliding mounts allow users to perform a wide range of optics experiments with ease. The included accessories make the system complete, flexible, and ready for classroom and lab demonstrations.

Working Principle

An Optical Bench works by allowing users to place and align optical components along a straight, fixed scale. The sliding bases move smoothly and hold each component at the required position. Users set a light source, add lenses or mirrors, and capture the image on a screen. The fixed scale helps measure distances between the components. These measurements help students understand focal length, magnification, and image formation. The stable base ensures correct results during repeated experiments.


Use Cases

• Physics laboratory demonstrations
• Optics experiments in schools and colleges
• Training for lens and mirror behavior
• Research on image formation and focal length
• Demonstrations of reflection and refraction
