About This Product
With three lenses to compare, a class can see at once that some shapes draw rays together and others spread them apart. Tracing those paths onto paper and marking where the rays meet gives a hands-on route into focal points, ray diagrams and how lenses work inside optical instruments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the lenses in the Set of Three Lenses glass or plastic?
They are plexiglass, a transparent acrylic-type material, which keeps them light for repeated classroom use.
