1 1 Home Lab 1 Light Rays, Images and Shadows Overview Our first home laboratory investigation will be a study in how shadows and images are formed from apertures and objects. All you need to know to understand these phenomena is that light rays travel in straight lines and a little geometry. These phenomena can be observed in simple experiments performed with household materials. To think about why shadows can sometimes look fuzzy and sometimes look very distinct maybe we should go back and think about what we know about lunar eclipses (when the Earth throws its shadow of the Sun s light across the moon. Figure 1.1 Since the Sun is not a point of light (but quite large), rays of light shining from both sides of the Sun cause two types of shadows during a lunar eclipse. Rays of light that are blocked almost parallel to the Earth and Sun axis form a darker shadow (in the umbra all rays are blocked by the Earth). Rays of light that shine to the opposite side of the Earth are also blocked but the light rays from the Sun that shine more parallel are not blocked thus there is a lighter shadow know as the penumbra in that region. Figure 1.2 Projecting the shadow of a small ball onto a paper screen can create a similar pattern of shadows. In this first set of activities, we will closely observe the formation of shadows and determine how they have been constructed.
2 2 The diagram at the left shows the relationship of the umbra and penumbra shadows and the appearance of the moon during a lunar eclipse. The stunning copper color of the moon at total eclipse is caused by sunlight being refracted through the Earth s atmosphere (much like we see at sunset). Its brightness depends on the amount of dust in Earth's upper atmosphere at the time. A beautiful multiple exposure photograph of a total lunar eclipse in the U.S. on April 22, 2008, showing the different stages of the eclipse.
3 3 Activity 1-1: Light Rays and Shadows Objective: Make simple observations of light and shadows to demonstrate and understand that light travels in straight lines. Materials: A fluorescent 13 watt household spirally shaped bulb or watt incandescent bulb. Standard 8 1/2 x 11 paper, construction paper, and cardboard. Masking tape, scissors, ruler, meter stick, pencil or magic marker. Write your observations and answer questions for each of the following: 1. In a dark room turn on your light. List where the light goes - where in the room is it light and dark: 2. Move around the room - facing the light. Notice that you can see the light from many different places in the room. Describe why you can see light in more than one place in the room: 3. Move around the room - facing away from the light. Describe what happens to your shadow as you move around the room: 4. Describe the relationship between the positions of the light, you, and your shadow:
4 4 5. Cut a small hole (diameter about 1 cm) in a sheet of paper. Put the paper (with the hole) in a position so it blocks as much light illuminating the room as possible. This should be about 10 cm from the light source. Now move your eye to a place where you can see the light passing through the hole. Describe where you must place your eye to see this light: 6. Draw a simple top view diagram showing the relationship between the positions of your eye, the hole, and the light. Describe the relationship in your drawing: 7. Describe what condition is necessary for you to see the light through the hole in the paper: 8. Take a dusty chalkboard eraser or plant mister and clap the erasers (or spray the mister) near the hole where the light comes out. Describe what you observe: 9. People often speak of a beam of light. Explain why someone might use those words to describe light:
5 Activity 1-2: How does the nature of a shadow depend on the distance between the light source and the object projecting the shadow? 5 Objective: To understand and demonstrate how the nature of the shadow changes with distance between the light source and the object. Materials: Same as in Activity 1-1 Procedure: 1. Still in a dark room stand an object ( Magic or white board marker, etc.) up 20 cm from your light source on a blank sheet of paper (as shown here). 2. Turn on the lamp and observe the shadow on the table cast by the marker. 3. Closely observe the shape of the shadow and where the shadow is lighter and darker. On the white paper draw a picture of the shadow. Write down a description of your observations here: 4. Move the object 40 cm and then to 80 cm away from the light source observe the changes in the shadows and write down a description of the changes that you observe here:
6 6 5. Predict what the shadow to look like when moved to 120 cm: Now place the paper with a hole in the center (from activity 1-1) between the light and your standing object as shown here. The hole will reduce the size of the light source (closer to a point source of light). Repeat the steps in the procedure above observing the effect of the smaller light source on the size, shape, brightness, and fuzziness of the shadow cast by the standing marker. 6. Describe the changes you observe in the shadows with this smaller light source:
7 7 Activity 1-3: How does the nature of a shadow depend on the distance between the object and the shadow? Objective: To understand and demonstrate how the nature of a projected shadow changes with distance between the object and the shadow. Materials: Same as in Activity 1-1 Procedure: In a dark room stand your object up 10 cm from a wall and your light source shining in the direction of your object (1 m from the wall) as shown here. 1. Turn on the lamp and observe the shadow cast by your object on the wall. 2. Closely observe the shape of the shadow and where the shadow is lighter and darker. Is the shadow sharp or blurry? 3. Move the object 40 cm and then later to 80 cm from the wall while keeping the light source in the same position observe the changes the shadows on the wall. 4. Describe the changes in the shadow as the object moves from 10 cm to 80 cm from the wall: 5. With reference to the lunar eclipse diagrams shown in Figures 1-1 and 1.2. Draw 2 diagrams to describe the differences you observed between shadows 10 cm and 40 cm from the wall (you will need to photograph or scan these diagrams and submit them with this assignment).
8 8 Activity 1-4: Square hole round shadow hmmm. Objective: In this last activity we will observe how shadows may change depending on the shape of the light source and the object (as discussed in your readings). Procedure: Cut a 1 cm x 1 cm sharp edged square in a large piece of cardboard (the object) and stand the cardboard 5 cm from a wall. Place your light source 1 m from the wall as shown here so the light can shine through the square and project onto the wall. 1. In a dark room observe the light projected on the wall through the square in the cardboard. 2. Move the cardboard 30 cm form the wall (70 cm from the light source observe the same above changes in the square image of the light projected on the wall. 3. Do the same for 60 cm and 90 cm from the wall. (Thus you will observe: 5 cm, 30 cm, 60 cm, and 90 cm from the wall). 4. As you move the cut square of cardboard further from the wall describe the effect on the following aspects of the square of light you observed: - a) The effect on the size of the square light image was: - b) The effect on the clarity/fuzziness of the square light image was: - c) The effect on the shape of the square light image was:
9 5. Draw a top view light ray diagram (just like the lunar eclipse diagram, except instead of the light being blocked by the hole the light is projected through the hole) showing how the light is projected on the wall when the cardboard is close to the wall (far from the light). 6. Draw a top view light ray diagram (just like the lunar eclipse diagram) showing how the light is projected on the wall when the cardboard is far from the wall (close to the light). (You will need to photograph or scan these 2 diagrams and submit them with this assignment). 7. Referring to the two diagrams you have just drawn write an explanation for the effect on the size and fuzziness of the light image you observed above What effect would a smaller light source have on the square of light (maybe a small flashlight instead of a lamp)? Write your prediction on how the size, shape, and fuzziness of the light square would be affected by a smaller light source: 8. Knowing what you know now, explain how you could help Aristotle solve his dilemma about whether one could observe a square image projected through square hole illuminated by the sun:
