Principle
If you plan to cover both the astronomical and the Dutch telescopes in your physics course in that order, it is advisable to conduct similar experiments and to make comparisons between the two telescope types.
This procedure was followed in the conception of this experiment.
Benefits
- Multifunctional light box - All-in-one: Can be used for geometric optics on the table, colour mixing and on an optical bench
- Extension with others sets at anytime, no additional light sources needed, recognition value for students
Tasks
Construct a model of a Dutch telescope and investigate how its parts interact.
