Objective
Explore the properties of light, such as reflection, refraction, and dispersion.
Materials
- Laser pointer or flashlight
- Mirrors
- Glass of water
- Prism
- White paper
- Notebook for recording data
Instructions
- Demonstrate reflection by shining the light on a mirror and observing the reflected beam.
- Investigate refraction by shining the light through a glass of water and observing the bending of light.
- Explore dispersion by directing the light through a prism and observing the spectrum of colors produced.
- Record your observations and measurements in your notebook.
- Analyze your findings to understand the principles of light behavior.
- Present your results in a report, explaining the properties of light and their significance.
