Light Reflection and Refraction Set
Model Number: MTO-25
The Light Reflection and Refraction Set is a practical optical apparatus for investigating two fundamental properties of light: reflection and refraction. Micro Technologies supplies the set with a wooden base, rotating platform, semi-circular acrylic lens, semi-circular transparent tank, mirror with support, and a small metal D-shaped component. The rotating platform provides controlled angular positioning, allowing incidence, reflection, and refraction angles to be examined with good precision while minimizing disturbance to the external light source. Different supplied optical components can be positioned according to the required investigation. Compact and reusable, the apparatus is suitable for physics laboratories, optics laboratories, universities, colleges, research facilities, and institutional laboratory procurement. A light source is not included with the standard set.
Product Specification
The Light Reflection and Refraction Set is a versatile optical experiment apparatus for investigating how light behaves when it encounters reflective surfaces or passes between media with different refractive properties. It combines a stable base, adjustable rotating platform, and interchangeable optical components in one convenient laboratory arrangement.
The wooden base provides mechanical support for the experimental setup, while the rotating platform allows controlled angular adjustment of the optical component being investigated. This arrangement is particularly useful when measuring or comparing angles because the platform can be rotated without repeatedly repositioning the complete apparatus or unnecessarily disturbing the external light source.
Micro Technologies supplies the Light Reflection and Refraction Set with a semi-circular acrylic lens that can be used for practical refraction investigations. Its curved and flat surfaces provide useful geometries for examining how a ray changes direction at an air-acrylic boundary. Under suitable experimental conditions, the component can also support investigations involving critical angle and total internal reflection.
A semi-circular transparent tank is included for experiments where a suitable liquid medium is required. This allows the behaviour of light through different transparent media to be compared and provides additional possibilities for refractive index investigations.
The supplied mirror and support enable practical verification of the laws of reflection by comparing the incident and reflected ray directions. A small metal D-shaped component is also provided as part of the experimental arrangement.
For quantitative investigations, the rotating platform provides convenient angular control and repeatable component positioning. The standard set does not include a light source, allowing laboratories to combine the apparatus with an appropriate existing ray box or compatible optical source.
With multiple optical components, controlled angular positioning, and a stable reusable structure, the Light Reflection and Refraction Set provides a practical solution for fundamental ray-optics experiments and complete laboratory installations.

FAQs
What is the Light Reflection and Refraction Set used for?
The apparatus is used for experiments involving the reflection and refraction of light. It allows incident, reflected, and refracted ray directions to be examined using different optical components.
What is the purpose of the rotating platform?
The rotating platform allows controlled angular positioning of the optical components. This makes it easier to vary and measure angles without unnecessarily moving the complete setup.
Is a semi-circular acrylic lens included?
Yes. A semi-circular acrylic lens is supplied for experiments involving refraction, ray behaviour, critical angle, and related optical investigations.
What is the transparent tank used for?
The semi-circular transparent tank can hold a suitable liquid medium for investigating how light behaves when travelling through materials with different refractive properties.
Can the apparatus demonstrate the laws of reflection?
Yes. The supplied mirror can be used with an appropriate external light source to compare the angles of incidence and reflection.
Can it be used for refraction experiments?
Yes. The acrylic lens and transparent tank provide different configurations for studying refraction and comparing the behaviour of light at optical boundaries.
Is a light source supplied with the set?
No. A light source is not included with the standard configuration. A suitable ray box or compatible optical light source can be used separately.
Can critical angle be investigated with this apparatus?
Yes. With an appropriate light source and correct positioning of the semi-circular optical component, the setup can support investigations involving critical angle and total internal reflection.
Does the apparatus require calibration?
Routine mechanical calibration is generally minimal. For quantitative work, the angular reference and alignment of the rotating platform should be checked before taking measurements.
How should the optical components be maintained?
Keep the acrylic lens, tank, and mirror clean and protected from scratches. Use suitable non-abrasive cleaning materials and store components securely after experiments.
Can these sets be ordered in bulk?
Yes. Bulk quantities can be supplied for physics laboratories, optics laboratories, universities, colleges, research facilities, scientific equipment distributors, and institutional projects.
Can the set be customized?
Component combinations, accessories, packaging, and compatible light-source arrangements may be customized for bulk requirements depending on the required specifications.
