The Week of Sepetember 27

This week we continued our studies on light and laser pointers. We created an experiment using a laser and a protractor to test if you point a laser at a certain angle will it bounce off in that direct angle. For more information about this experiemnt you could see my lab report that is due on moday Ocotober 5th. Mr. Finley taught us that the angle that you point the laser at is called the laser of incidence and the angle it bounces of of is called the angle of reflection. The angle of incidence is the independent variable and the angle of reflection is the dependent variable.
This week we also learned about light particles or Photon particles. These particles make up light. We also made hypothesis of what happens when light hits off water. Besides that we came up with 5 descriptions of particles. These descriptions include that they are fast, they bounce off objects, they bounce off things congruently, light is made up of them, and they bounce in spread directions when they hit a rough surface. That concludes this weeks blog.
