Apparatus for studying the reflection of light from different surfaces and the refraction of light in different environments Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Apparatus for studying the reflection of light from different surfaces and the refraction of light in different environments (Product Code: SCL-577/043) is a sensor-based optics experiment kit used to compare light reflected by various surfaces and to measure refraction through glass in school physics labs. Its light sensor reads (0–2 000) or (0–30 000) lux and links to a touch-controlled smartboard. The set is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Light Reflection and Refraction Apparatus Used For?

For the reflection part, students aim a light beam at sample surfaces such as a mirror, white card, black card or foil, and record the reflected illuminance with the sensor at a fixed distance and angle. The low range, with 0.5 lux resolution, suits weak reflections from dark matt surfaces, while the high range handles bright direct beams. Because the sensor sends over 1000 readings per second to the smartboard, the whole class can watch values change as a surface is tilted.

For refraction, the parallel-faced glass block is placed on the 50 cm protractor, a narrow ray is directed at it, and the angles of incidence and refraction are read so that the refractive index can be calculated from n = sin i / sin r. Students also see that the ray leaving the block runs parallel to the incoming ray but shifted sideways. As optics lab equipment, the set gives clearer readings in a darkened room, and the glass parts should be handled by their edges to keep faces clean.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The light source you plan to use, since no lamp or ray box is itemised in the listing.
• Your smartboard model, so sensor compatibility can be checked before dispatch.
• Number of sets and any spare glass block or lenses required.

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) that assembles this reflection and refraction apparatus at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. ScienceLab makes the optical parts and assembles the complete set there, while the smartboard light (lux) sensor is a sourced electronic component. Sets are dispatched directly from the factory to schools, colleges, institutions, dealers and importers.

Dealing with the manufacturer keeps questions about compatibility, spare optics or repeat orders with the team that builds the set — ask us for details. Visit the ScienceLab profile to learn more about the company.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included with this reflection and refraction apparatus (SCL-577/043)?
The reflection and refraction apparatus SCL-577/043 includes a smartboard-compatible light sensor, a 1–14 V AC/DC, 6 A power source, a (50 x 20) mm parallel-faced glass block, a glass lens grinder and glass spoon lens (names as listed), a protractor with 50 cm base and a model of a window phenomenon guide.

What range and resolution does the light sensor have?
The light sensor in the reflection and refraction apparatus SCL-577/043 offers two ranges: (0–2 000) lux with 0.5 lux resolution and (0–30 000) lux with 10 lux resolution. It takes over 1000 measurements per second, so rapid changes in reflected light are captured.

Can the apparatus display readings on a smartboard?
Yes. According to its listing, the light sensor of the reflection and refraction apparatus SCL-577/043 connects to a smartboard and is controlled by touch. Tell us your smartboard model when enquiring so that compatibility can be confirmed before the set is dispatched.

How is the refractive index of glass measured with this apparatus?
With the reflection and refraction apparatus SCL-577/043, a narrow ray is aimed at the (50 x 20) mm parallel-faced glass block on the 50 cm protractor. Students read the angles of incidence and refraction and calculate the refractive index as n = sin i / sin r.

Who manufactures the reflection and refraction apparatus SCL-577/043?
The reflection and refraction apparatus SCL-577/043 is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM: the optical parts are made and the set is assembled at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Its smartboard light (lux) sensor is a sourced electronic component. Quotations come from the manufacturer directly.

How does SCL-577/043 differ from the similarly named optics apparatus in the same range?
The apparatus SCL-577/043 is built around a digital light sensor, a parallel-faced glass block and a protractor for measured reflection and refraction work. The similarly named apparatus listed in the related items is a broader optics set with a laser diode, eye model, lenses, mirrors, prism and fibre optics.
