In the last few years, lasers have become invaluable tools in thousands of industrial, scientific, medical and communications applications. This project, in several individual experiments, demonstrates a laser's unique ability to perform a variety of tests with deceptive ease.
110-VAC operation - no more dead batteries.
Included in the kit are: optical beam splitter; first-surface mirror; converging lens; optics mounts; microphone; electronic control/receiver box with 2-channel receiver and 1 MHz oscillator; 110 VAC-to-DC power adapter; optics table; and a step-by-step instruction book
NOTE: Not included but required for operation are modulated laser, video camera and monitor and a dual-channel 40 MHz oscilloscope.
Activities include:
- Measuring the speed of light
- Transmitting and receiving audible signals using light as the transport medium
220 VAC option available upon request.
Replacement for Metrologic's Laser Speed of Light/Audio Kit Part No. 45-720.
