Principle

This experiment must be carried out in a completely blacked out room. Only in this way can all the desired effects be observed.

Benefits

  • Specified for the requirements of the german final secondary-school examinations
  • Especially for secondary schools
  • Quantum and wave optics in a student experiment

Tasks

Why is the sky blue? Why is the sky blue and why is it red in the evening when the sun is setting? This is a question one hears time and again (not only from children). In this experiment you will develop the principles for answering these questions.
