Product Description
Learning about Refraction
As light travels through a given medium, it travels in a straight line. However, when light passes from one medium into a second medium, the light path bends. Refraction takes place. (Part of the incident light will be refracted and part of it will be reflected.) If you look at a pencil submerged in a glass half-filled with water as you sight through the side of the glass at the portion of the pencil located above the water’s surface, light travels directly from the pencil to your eye. Since this light does not change medium, it will not refract. As you sight at the portion of the pencil that was submerged in the water, light travels from water to air (or from water to glass to air). This light ray changes medium and subsequently undergoes refraction.
Convex Lens
As the light beams pass through a convex lens, it refracts them and brings them together, resulting in the convergence of light, due to which it is also named as a converging lens. After being refracted by the lens, the rays converge at the focal point, F, of the lens. Figure 7-1 shows two focal points, one on each side of the lens. You could turn the lens around, and it will work the same. Further, the length between the focal point and the center of the lens is called focal length.
Color and Light
Objects appear different colors because they absorb some colors (wavelengths) and reflected or transmit other colors. The colors we see are the wavelengths that are reflected or transmitted.
For example, a red shirt looks red because the dye molecules in the fabric have absorbed the wavelengths of light from the violet/blue end of the spectrum. Red light is the only light that is reflected from the shirt. If only blue light is shone onto a red shirt, the shirt would appear black, because the blue would be absorbed and there would be no red light to be reflected.
Pinhole camera
A pinhole camera is a simple camera without lens but with a tiny aperture, a pinhole. Light from a scene passes through the aperture and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box, which is known as the camera obscura effect.
Pinhole camera works on the principle that “Light travels in straight lines”. The rays of light emitted from the F-shaped light travel in all directions in the air. Lots of the rays hit on the pinhole board and are blocked. However, the pinhole lets through a certain number of these rays which continue on their courses until they meet the screen where they produce a reverse image of the object.
Make a Rainbow with a Prism
When white light enters the prism it slows down and changes direction, bends (or refracts), and spreads out. The amount the light changes depends on the wavelength. Red light changes direction the least and violet the most.
The Law of Reflection
The law of reflection governs the reflection of light rays off smooth surfaces, such as polished metal or metal-coated glass mirrors.
The normal is an imaginary line that is perpendicular to a surface at the location where light strikes the surface. The law of reflection states that the incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the surface of the mirror all lie in the same plane. Furthermore, the angle of reflection θ ris equal to the angle of incidence θi.
Images Formed by Plane Mirrors
If you looked at yourself in a mirror, you saw your reflection in a plane mirror.
Images in a plane mirror are the same size as the object, are located behind the mirror, and are oriented in the same direction as the object (i.e., “upright”).
Concave Lens
As the light beams pass through a convex lens, it refracts them and brings them together, resulting in the convergence of light, due to which it is also named as a converging lens.
Using Snell’s law and geometry, you can predict the paths of rays passing through lenses. To simplify such problems, assume that all refraction occurs on a plane, called the principal plane, that passes through the center of the lens. This approximation, called the thin lens model, applies to all the lenses that you will learn about in this book.

Great kit – has everything you need! Fun and educational
This is one of the best science kits for kids that we have used. All the kit you need for the experiments is included, lenses, mirrors, prisms etc. The experiments are fun, fairly straightforward and sometimes surprising. The process is entertaining and engaging and some key concepts in optics are covered.Occasionally the instructions on how to set up the experiment were a little lacking, but we always got there in the end – a few diagrams might have helped.There is additional information with every experiment that allows you to to look in more depth at the concepts covered. Younger kids can just gloss over this bit and get a basic understanding and enjoy the pretty lights, where as older kids are able to get more into the nuts and bolts of how light works.I have been very disappointed in the past by shoddy science kits that lack any real science, this is completely different. We had a lot of fun, we loved the pinhole camera and making rainbows with the prism, I feel my daughter really learnt something new about the wold whilst playing with this kit.

Good kit for home tutoring/teaching
I use this kit for home tutoring, so although it is a bit basic, it does have enough to get the basic concepts over. For the price, excellent value

makes an excellent present and would even be good for science demonstrations in the classroom
Teenii Optics Science Kit about Light Experiment for Kids,We tested this with children between 7 and 15 – and with someone from the local school of optometry too (Optometrists are the people who check your eyes and fix your glasses).We foundâ the set is well packed and presented in a cardboard box that can be recessed to pack this away after useâ you get 2x AAA batteries in the box – but there are 3 light sources so we advise you get another 4 AAA batteries as changing the batteries over is fiddly for small fingersâ the instructions are excellent – the book that comes with the kit is full of information and covers a lot of the basic “Optics” course for science at school at KS2 and 3 and even for student Optometrists !â It kept everyone busy for nearly 2 hours over the new year holiday. We rate this as better than the basic “chemistry sets”.ðð» no problems – just suggest you get another 4 AAA batteries to go with it.â¥ï¸ CONCLUSION: a great educational “toy”; we think it makes an excellent present and would even be good for science demonstrations in the classroom.

Broken
The kit is really good however it arrived with a broken triangular prism. When I contacted customer services they said a return and refund would take between two and four weeks. Useless if I’m using it to teach now.

Son really liked this
My son really liked this and it was a good bonding session for him and his dad. My son is 9 and loves to experiment and look into things and how they work. Him and his dad spent ages with this experimenting. This is not what I call a throw away toy it is something that can be done over and over again. I know it seems a lot of money but there is hours of enjoyment to be had with this. It was nice watching my son and his dad doing this together. They were able to work out a lot with doing this explaining to eachother their thoughts and how these things work. Would be nice if was a little cheaper but is worth getting.

Optics kit
Pretty good with wide range of lenses and good light source. Tricky to get prism to work with sunlight..but that is often true.

Fantastic learning
Really impressed with this kit, I’ve bought other educational kits for my home ed children and have been very dissapointed by the amount of equipment I had to supply that was required to complet experiments until now . Amazed at the value for money this kit provides with all the equipment you require is supplied, it’s full of equipment.What i like about this kit is the ability to go back and revisit the experiments as the kit supplied isn’t a 1 use only.The instruction manual is a bit tricky at times and this is not the sort of manual you could leave your children with to figure it out themselves so adult engagement is required.Excellent value for money and can be re sued over and over again, ideal for home school families.

Decent kit if overpriced but terrible booklet
This is a decent little kit that allows doing similar practical investigations on light to those that are part of the GCSE syllabus.Unfortunately the accompanying information is not so good. The instruction booklet is unclear and outdated, and uses language not suitable for the age of children suited to the kit itself (the first chapter title is “Rectilinear Propagation of Light”, with no attempt to explain these terms to youngsters. A little card that has a diagram of the eye with translations of the parts in four languages has mistranslated the word “pupil”, using a term for a school pupil instead of an anatomical term.The little battery powered ray box is quite convenient.

à un kit che ho preso per svolgere a Scuola un’attività laboratoriale sulla Luce. L’ho usato per una 3^media e i miei alunni hanno sperimentato la propagazione rettilinea della Luce, le leggi della riflessione, quelle della rifrazione, la dispersione e tanto altro ancora… il libretto che è in dotazione nel kit è scritto in molto scientificamente corretto, per livello superiore ma anche Universitaro. Lo consiglio perché si possono fare tutte le attività che ci sono scritte sui libri di Scienze. Io sono rimasta soddisfatto e, ai miei alunni è piaciuto molto.
