experiment_043: funnel out of aluminum foil


Figure 01. Light transferred from light to shadow through a thin fiberoptics cable with the use of a magnifying glass.

Figure 02. The magnifying glass collecting more light to be transferred through the thin fiberoptics cable.

Figure 04. Using a funnel out of aluminum foil in order to collect more light, or at least similar to the magnifying glass case.

Figure 04. Front view of the funnel collecting light.
Experiment_043:
For this experiment we wanted to test whether the magnifying glass or the funnel out of aluminum foil can be used to collect more light when using a thin fiberoptics cable (thinner than the one used in the experiment_042).
Items used in this experiment:thin fiberoptics cable, magnifying glass, funnel out of aluminum foil, daylight, shadow.

experiment_041: guiness with aluminum


Figure 01. Guiness glass ligthed from the top; this time wrapped with aluminum foil (birds-eye view).

Figure 02. Guiness glass ligthed from the top; this time wrapped with aluminum foil (top view).

Figure 03. Guiness glass ligthed from the top as it has happened in the experiment_040 without the use of the aluminum foil (top view)

Figure 04. Side view of the glass used (with water in it).
Experiment_041:
For this experiment we wanted to test whether this special type of glass, wrapped with aluminum paper can augment the light diffused in the water. This experiment is a continuation of the experiment_040.
Items used in this experiment:water, special type of glass (guiness), laser beam, aluminum foil.
