Setup including laser, whiteboard, lenses, and mirrors.

All images are currently incorrect.

Transition notes:

  1. The following can be left out from the previous lab (2216 Lab 2: Mirrors and Reflection)
    • You can keep EVERYTHING from the previous Optics lab EXCEPT for the bar magnet set and the Optics Lens + Optics Mirrors (the three glass thingies).
  2. Wipe down the Optics Mat and the Whiteboard if they aren't already.
  3. Sweep!

  2. USB-A to USB-mini USB cord
  3. 5-Beam Laser
  4. 5-Beam Laser Power Adapter
  5. Beam Selector
  6. From the Geometric Optics Case you will need the following:
    • Plane Mirror (Lens 2)
    • Large Semicircle Lens
    • Protractor Optics Mat
  7. 2 x Metric Ruler
  8. Whiteboard
  9. Whiteboard Eraser
