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.
