Optical Bench - 06.02

In this exhibit visitors are introduced to the physics of lenses, and how they work.

A lens is a device for either concentrating or diverging light, usually formed from a piece of shaped glass. Lenses are used in everyday life in many products, for example in glasses. Lenses can be convex or concave.

  2. Turn the lensholder, choosing either a concave or convex lens.
