6B 10.10 - Light Output as a Function of Input Power:

Demonstrates: The light output is dependent on voltage but not on amperage.

Description: An auto light bulb is hooked to a variable power source, a voltmeter and an ammeter.

6B 10.20 - Inverse Square Law with Light:

Demonstrates: Inverse Square Law.

Description: A light meter and a 25 W bulb are used to illustrate this law.

6B 10.30 - Point and Diffused Light Sources:

Demonstrates: Umbra and penumbra shadows.

Description: Use a diffuse source and a point source. Project shadows of object on wall or screen to show umbra and penumbra.

6B 40.20 - Luminosity and Flux:

Demonstrates: Black body radiation, luminosity and flux.

Description: An acrylic setup with two light bulbs on dimmers. One bulb has a globe covering.

6B 40.30 - Black Body Radiation:

Demonstrates: Infrared radiation from heat.

Description: A metal ring is heated and observed with a CCD camera. The ring will appear on the screen before it can be seen by the naked eye.
