Crossed Tubes Extended Geometrical Optics Pinhole Light Source


Crossed fluorescent tubes are mounted in a box and can be switched on independently.  Students make a pinhole and image this light source on a screen.  Students can investigate what their image looks like if one or the other or both tubes are switched on, and what the image looks like if portions of the source are covered.
