Principle

Parabolic mirrors concentrate the light of the sun in a focal point, in which even a piece of paper then burns. Parabolic troughs have a focal line in which tubes, for example, are heated very effectively.In the experiment, a black test tube filled with water is illuminated with a reflector lamp and the influence of the parabolic trough is examined in different experimental setups: test tube in the focal line, outside the focal line, setup without parabolic trough.

Benefits

  • Part of a system solution - easily expandable for further experiments
  • Simple teaching by using the demo board physics
  • Clear test execution by using ADM3 multimeters
