RECTANGULAR GLASS BLOCK
Product Description
Rectangular Glass Block is a precisely manufactured optical glass apparatus commonly used in physics and optics laboratories. It serves as a medium for experiments involving light refraction, reflection, and dispersion. The block’s uniform rectangular shape and polished surfaces provide clear, distortion-free passage of light, making it ideal for studying phenomena such as critical angle, total internal reflection, and lens behavior. Made from high-quality, optically clear glass, this block withstands repeated handling and laboratory conditions. It is essential for educational demonstrations and research in geometric optics and photonics.
Primary Uses
Laboratory Applications
- Used in optics experiments to demonstrate refraction and reflection of light.
- Employed to study the critical angle and total internal reflection phenomena.
- Serves as a standard optical component in physics education.
- Utilized in the alignment and calibration of optical instruments.
- Used in research for light transmission and dispersion properties of glass.
Secondary Uses
- Utilized in the fabrication and testing of optical devices.
- Used as a sample in spectroscopy and material analysis.
