Optics Experiments

Verification of Lenses and Mirrors Laws

This experiment verifies the laws of reflection and refraction using mirrors and lenses.

Liquid Lenses Experiment

This experiment studies liquid lenses that change shape due to surface tension, demonstrating the principles of variable-focus optics.

Refractive Index of Transparent Glass Sheet

Determines the refractive index (n) of glass using Snell’s law

Refractive Index of a Prism

Measures a prism’s refractive index using the minimum deviation method.

Diffraction Grating by Spectrometer

Analyzes light diffraction and calculates wavelength (λ) using the grating equation

Malus’ Law of Polarization

Verifies Malus’ law, which states that transmitted light intensity through a polarizer

Polarization by Quarter Wave Plates

Studies how quarter-wave plates convert linearly polarized light into circularly polarized light.

Sugar Prism Experiment

Examines optical activity by measuring the rotation of polarized light through a sugar solution.

Photoelectric Effect

Silicon photodiodes are semiconductor devices that generate current when exposed to light or particles.

Solar Cell Characteristics

Analyzes how light intensity affects the output voltage and current of a solar cell.

Newton Rings by Traveling Microscope

Studies interference patterns formed by light reflection in a curved glass surface.

Interference by Fresnel Prism

Demonstrates wave interference by passing light through a Fresnel prism.

Light Diffraction (Young’s Experiment)

Reproduces Young’s double-slit experiment to measure light’s wave nature using.

Optical Interference by Michelson Interferometer

Uses an interferometer to measure small distance changes through light wave interference.

Apparatus for the Study of Light Energy

Examines the intensity and absorption of light in different materials.
