Solar and lunar eclipses (with the earth-moon model)

Principle

This experiment on the occurrence of solar and lunar eclipses requires little time and places relatively slight demands on the experimental proficiency of the students.

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
