FOP Conjunto para Estudo de Ótica

The Optics Study Set, "FOP", designed by EDIBON, has as its objective the study and understanding of simpler optical phenomena on which other much more complex phenomena are based. In this case, focusing on reflection, refraction, transmission, absorption and measurement of light intensity (irradiance).

Rainbows, mirages, the color of what we see, laser light, X-rays, etc. are all typical situations with which we live and whose explanation is based on optical theories. Sometimes they seem complicated, but they are all based on the combination of simple phenomena.

Nowadays, communications are carried out thanks to light. We convert electrical signals into light signals, which are associated with a lower loss in their path. In addition to greater storage, photosensitive elements have less frequent deterioration.

Phenomena such as total reflection have gone from being mere proven theoretical facts to being the driving force behind today's well-known "optical communications". Magnetic read heads have now given way to laser reading, and information storage has replaced the use of ferromagnetic devices over photosensitive elements.
