Conceptual educational illustration only; not an actual product photograph.
Product Overview
The Optical Bench Ordinary is an educational physics laboratory apparatus used to position optical components along a common axis for the observation and measurement of light-related phenomena. With compatible holders and components, students can investigate image formation, focal length, object distance and image distance during school and college physics practicals.
The apparatus provides a practical way to connect ray diagrams and optical principles with observations made in the laboratory. The exact design, scale arrangement, length and accessories depend on the model supplied. Contact PSAW Laboratory Equipments to confirm the actual configuration before ordering.
Key Learning Applications
Lens Experiments
Study image formation and focal length using compatible lenses and a suitable object or screen.
Mirror Experiments
Arrange suitable mirrors and observe image formation according to the experiment setup.
Object and Image Distance
Compare object and image positions and record readings where the bench has a suitable measuring scale.
Optics Demonstrations
Help learners connect classroom theory with practical demonstrations of geometrical optics.
How to Use an Optical Bench
- Place the bench on a stable, level laboratory table.
- Check the bench supports and compatible holders before starting.
- Mount the required object or light source, optical element and screen using suitable holders.
- Align the optical centres at a common height and along the same axis.
- Adjust the component positions for the selected practical, such as image formation by a convex lens.
- Observe the image and record the relevant distances using the available scale, if provided.
- Repeat measurements where required and compare the observations with the relevant optics principle.
Follow the laboratory experiment instructions and use only compatible components. The accessories needed depend on the experiment and the supplied model.
Optics Concept: Focal Length
An optical bench can support practical investigations of the focal length of a lens when used with the appropriate lens, object or light source, screen and measuring arrangement.
1/f = 1/v − 1/uThis is the thin-lens formula using the Cartesian sign convention, where f is focal length, v is image distance and u is object distance. Use the convention specified in your physics practical manual when recording measurements.
