Light Box and Optical Set

Product Code : SCI-1489/028

Light Box and Optical Set (Product Code: SCI-1489/028) is a ray-box optics kit used to carry out reflection, refraction and colour-mixing experiments in school and college physics laboratories. A matt black light box with a 20 W halogen lamp produces parallel, convergent or divergent beams, and the set adds Perspex prisms and lenses, curved and plane mirrors, slit plates, eight colour filters and eight coloured cards. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

  • Mirrors: one curved metallised plastic (parabolic), one curved metallised plastic (semi-circular), one plane glass mirror mounted on a stand
  • Black plastic slit plates: one with three narrow slits and one narrow slit; one with four narrow slits and one wide slit

  • Set of eight coloured cards: red, green, blue, violet, orange, cyan, yellow and pink

What Is a Light Box and Optical Set Used For?

With one light box and this accessory set, a class can work through much of a ray optics course at the bench. Narrow rays from the slit plates show the laws of reflection on the plane and curved mirrors, refraction and total internal reflection in the semi-circular and triangular blocks, and dispersion or deviation by the prisms. The paired concave and convex lenses of equal curvature make it easy to compare converging and diverging behaviour.

For colour work, the triple aperture end sends three beams through the primary filters, and the hinged mirrors steer them onto one spot to build secondary colours and white light. Shining filtered light on the coloured cards then shows why objects look different under different lights. As an optics experiment kit for schools, it works well in a darkened room on a sheet of white paper.

What to Specify When Ordering

  • The number of complete sets, typically one per student group or one for teacher demonstration.
  • Whether you need extra slit plates or prisms for additional groups.
  • Soft drawing boards or pins if students will trace rays on paper.
  • Your mains supply details, so we can confirm the lamp connection with the quotation.

OEM Manufacturer

The Light Box and Optical Set is an original ScienceLab product made by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM behind the ScienceLab name. The box and its accessory set are produced at the company's licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, and supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers. When a prism, lens or filter needs replacing, ask the manufacturer directly rather than searching for a matching part elsewhere. About the company.

Frequently Asked Questions

What lamp does the Light Box and Optical Set use?
The Light Box and Optical Set uses a 20 W halogen lamp inside a robust matt black box, supplied with 0.75 m of twin flex. A cylindrical convex lens in a sliding mount lets you switch between parallel, convergent and divergent beams.

Which prisms and lenses are included in the Light Box and Optical Set?
The Light Box and Optical Set includes rectangular and semi-circular Perspex blocks, three triangular prisms (60°-60°-60°, 90°-60°-30° and 90°-45°-45°), a double concave and a double convex cylindrical lens of equal curvature, and a thick double convex lens.

Can the Light Box and Optical Set demonstrate colour mixing?
Yes, the Light Box and Optical Set has a triple aperture end with adjustable hinged mirrors on the side apertures. With the eight colour filters, including primary red, green and blue, students overlap beams to mix colours and study them on eight coloured cards.

How are slit plates and filters fitted to the Light Box and Optical Set?
Every aperture of the Light Box and Optical Set has vertical channels that hold slit plates and/or colour filters. The set includes two black plastic slit plates, one with three narrow slits and one narrow slit, the other with four narrow slits and one wide slit.

Which mirrors come with the Light Box and Optical Set?
The Light Box and Optical Set includes three mirrors: a curved metallised plastic parabolic mirror, a curved metallised plastic semi-circular mirror and a plane glass mirror mounted on a stand. Together they cover plane and curved reflection experiments.

Who manufactures the Light Box and Optical Set?
The Light Box and Optical Set is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations for India and international markets are issued by the manufacturer directly.
