This item by the authors of Practical Physics experiments gives guidance on the use of ray boxes and/or lamps to conduct labs on geometric optics. The advantages of both are discussed in terms of their use in different types of experiments.
This item is part of a much larger collection of physics/astronomy experiments, sponsored by the UK's Institute of Physics and funded by the Nuffield Curriculum Centre.
This resource is part of a Physics Front Topical Unit.
Topic: Nature and Behavior of Light
Unit Title: Ray Optics -- Reflection and Refraction of Light Not sure whether to use a ray box or another light source for your geometric optics experiments? This web page, by the authors of Practical Physics, gives advantages of both for varying lab situations. Link to Unit:
