Introduction
Lasers
are an ideal tool for demonstrating the various behaviors of
light. They differ from light sources like light bulbs or the sun, which
produce light of many different wavelengths and in all directions,
because their wavelengths are
spatially coherent,
essentially meaning
that the individual wavelengths in the laser are focused tightly
into a narrow beam. This quality of lasers makes them ideal for
demonstrating behaviors of light such as
reflection
and
refraction.
Reflection
describes light when it bounces off o f a surface, and
refraction
describes light when it passes through a new material
causing it to change its speed and direction.
This kit will allow you to visually explore reflection and refraction using a laser box that can produce a single beam,
three parallel beams, or five parallel beams .
