Hi,
I am currently doing a project looking into the absorption of light and how to reduce this. I also want to look into where light goes. The aim of the project is to find which material and which way i use these materials is most effective at harnessing light over longer distances.
I understand that light is absorbed by materials and the energy is represented as molecular vibrations.
What i want to do is transfer the light over a long distance for example down a tube lined with tin foil however will the light fade over long distances?
Also if i split this light into different directions will its brightness also reduce? I understand that if you did this with normal materials the light would fade very quickly but is there a material ( like a metal foil ) that doesn’t absorb any at all.
Any help would be great hopefully I can start a good discussion.
Cheers
