Principle

The length of a shadow behind an opaque object is dependent on the light's angle of incidence.

 

Benefits

  • minimal preparation time
  • light-intense halogen lamp
  • easy teaching by using the demo board for demonstration
  • ideal complement to analog student experiments by directly comparable devices

 

Tasks

Move the magnet-held lamp so that the light beam is incident at different angles. While doing so, record the respective angles of incidence and the corresponding shadow length I in a table.
