Basic Idea:

• Examine the optical properties of lenses (using Pasco optical benches).

Number of setups:

• 8

	What:	How Many:	Where:
	Pasco Optical bench (see setup diagram)	1	Majors storeroom, shelf P4
Note: All of the optical bench accessories are located in a single box (one per track), located on the N shelves. Stack the boxes on the side bench until the lab is cleaned up
	Screen	1	Majors storeroom, shelf N
	Light source	1	Majors storeroom, shelf N
	Lenses: 3 converging: Lens A, B, C 1 diverging: Lens D	1 each	Majors storeroom, shelf N

Notes:

• Lab setup (photo details)
  • Make sure that the light source is closest to the window, as shown below. Also note how the optical benches are arranged; make sure that the ruler always faces the outer edge of the lab bench, again as shown):
