Material

Optical-Grade Glass: Typically made from high-quality optical glass such as borosilicate or crown glass, known for its excellent transparency, low dispersion, and minimal optical distortion.
Refractive Index: The glass block usually has a high refractive index, essential for demonstrating light refraction and other optical phenomena accurately.

Dimensions:
Length: 100 mm
Width: 60 mm
Thickness: 18 mm on one side and 20 mm on the other, indicating a slight taper or specific design for particular optical experiments.
These precise dimensions are crucial for ensuring consistent experimental results and ease of handling.

Surface Finish:
Polished Surfaces: All faces of the glass block are polished to a high degree, providing smooth, flat surfaces that reduce light scattering and optical distortion.
Edges and Corners: Beveled or rounded edges to prevent chipping and ensure safe handling during use.

Transparency:
High Clarity: The glass is highly transparent, allowing for clear observation of light paths, reflections, and refractions.
Low Inclusion: Free from bubbles and inclusions that could interfere with light transmission and experimental accuracy.

Durability:
Scratch Resistant: The optical glass is typically resistant to scratches, ensuring longevity and maintaining optical clarity over time.
Thermal Stability: Resistant to thermal stress, suitable for use in a range of temperatures common in educational and laboratory settings.
