'''Location: ''' * Film: Drawer 96 * Lasers: Shelf M-2")
• 10:20, 25 April 2022 Physdemo talk contribs created page Soap Film Interference (Created page with "{{NewDemo|subject=Light and Optics|topic=Diffraction and Interference|file1=Soap Film Inteference.gif}} Light is reflected off of soap film and projected onto a screen. Just before the film breaks, when it is at its thinest, the reflected light goes black. Projection of patterns is set up as in Newton's Rings demo. '''Location: ''' * Soap Bubbles: Under Fume Hood * Bubble Ring: Drawer 106")
• 10:20, 25 April 2022 Physdemo talk contribs created page Newton's Rings (Created page with "{{NewDemo|subject=Light and Optics|topic=Diffraction and Interference|file1=NewtonRings.gif}} The Newton's Rings apparatus consists of a curved piece of glass held with its convex side against a flat piece of glass. The thin film of air trapped between causes interference patterns which can be changed by tightening or loosening the screws holding the apparatus together. The interference patterns are projected onto a screen by reflecting white light off of the Newton's R...")

• 10:15, 25 April 2022 Physdemo talk contribs created page Poisson Spot (Created page with "{{NewDemo|subject=Light and Optics|topic=Diffraction and Interference|file1=Poisson Spot.gif}} A laser beam with a beam expander attatchment is aimed at the ball bearing which is held by the lens apparatus. The interference pattern, which is now large enough to see clearly, is projected onto a screen or wall. The bright spot at the center of the pattern, Poisson's spot, is the result of light waves being bent around the ball bearing. '''Location: ''' * Laser: Shelf M-2...")

• 10:06, 25 April 2022 Physdemo talk contribs created page Prism and White Light (Created page with "{{NewDemo|subject=Light and Optics|topic=Refraction and Dispersion|file1=Prism.gif}} A bright light source shines into the side of a clear prism laying on its side on an adjustable base. The light experiences dispersion as it travels through the prism. The white light comes out as bands of colors of the spectrum on a white background placed behind the prism.

• 10:05, 25 April 2022 Physdemo talk contribs created page Rainbox (Created page with "{{NewDemo|subject=Light and Optics|topic=Refraction and Dispersion|file1=Rainbow.gif}} A bright light source shoots a beam of light through a piece of white cardboard with a hole in it into a round flask filled with water. An index card or piece of cardboard is placed on the other side of the flask to block the main beam. The refracted light is dispersed by the water in the flask and forms a rainbow on the white cardboard background. '''Location: ''' * Light Source: Sh...")
• 10:04, 25 April 2022 Physdemo talk contribs created page Bouncing Laser (Created page with "{{NewDemo|subject=Light and Optics|topic=Refraction and Dispersion|file1=bouncing_laser.jpg}} A 1:1 solution of Karo syrup and water is left to sit overnight. The syrup slowly sinks to the bottom and a varying level of index of refraction results. About 2 inches of syrup on the bottom looks good for this demo. A laser is shined into one end of the plexiglass tank, and it is seen to bend because of the varying index of refraction from the bottom to the top layer. When th...")
• 10:04, 25 April 2022 Physdemo talk contribs created page Cheshire Cat (Created page with "{{NewDemo|subject=Light and Optics|topic=Refraction and Dispersion|file1=cheshirecat.GIF}} This demo consists of a watchglass on which a cat has been etched, with a smile penned in with permanent marker. Put on the overhead and pour mineral oil over the cat; the cat shape disappears and all that can be seen is the smile. '''Location: ''' * Shelf M-3 *")

• 10:02, 25 April 2022 Physdemo talk contribs created page Disappearing Test Tube (Created page with "{{NewDemo|subject=Light and Optics|topic=Refraction and Dispersion|file1=Disappearing.JPG}} Mineral oil and the material the test tube is made out of have a very similar index of refraction. When the test tube is placed in the mineral oil, as the oil fills the test tube, the tube "disappears." The demonstration usually used with this set-up is as follows: A test tube is placed in the mineral oil before the lecture. During the lecture, the lecturer smashes another test t...")

• 09:57, 25 April 2022 Physdemo talk contribs created page Liquid Light Pipe (Created page with "{{NewDemo|subject=Light and Optics|topic=Geometrical Optics|file1=LiquidLight.GIF}} A laser is positioned so its beam is pointing at a small hole in the side of a plastic container. When the stopper to the hole is removed and the water pours out in an arc, the laser light follows the path of the water. NOTE: use a few drops of milk in the water to make the beam show up.

• 09:57, 25 April 2022 Physdemo talk contribs created page Fiber Optics (Created page with "{{NewDemo|subject=Light and Optics|topic=Geometrical Optics|file1=}} A large lucite rod bends in a spiral. Laser light can be put in at one end and it can be observed that the light is bouncing through the rod and coming out the other end. Also available is a fiber-optics kit with a penlight in it. Fiber optic materials can be put on the end of the flashlight to show how the material guides light. '''Location: ''' * Drawer 105")

• 09:56, 25 April 2022 Physdemo talk contribs created page Lucite Block and Laser (Created page with "{{NewDemo|subject=Light and Optics|topic=Geometrical Optics|file1=Laser&Lucite_Block.gif}} A semi-circular piece of lucite is mounted on a white board. Laser light going through a cylindrical lens reflects off the board and also goes through the lens. Angles of reflection and refraction can be observed, as well as total internal reflection. A white light line source, such as an old slide projector with a slit slide, can also be used as a light source. Approaching total...")

A light ray box is capable of putting out parallel light rays on the metal surface. Mirrors and lenses of various shapes can be placed on this surface. The focal point can be demonstrated by showing where the parallel rays converge. Can also be used to demonstrate how images are formed. Works well for all large lecture rooms. '''Location: ''...")

A large concave mirror is placed behind the box, which causes an image of the lightbulb in the box to appear on top of the box. A "dummy" lightbulb that is not connected to a voltage source is screwed into the socket on top of the box. The image projected of the lit lightbulb inside the box makes the dummy l...")
