the GardenGnome Posted April 8, 2003 Posted April 8, 2003 Does anyone have any ideas for physics experiments?
the GardenGnome Posted April 9, 2003 Author Posted April 9, 2003 Anything really, money is a factor though. Nothing more than 1000$.
fafalone Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 Measure the speed of light with cables... it costs about $15, and its really accurate and really cool.
fafalone Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 You could always shoot someone and describe the trajectory of the bullet.
Dave Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 Create a cathode-ray tube, because they're cool and shiny and stuff. Or build a spark chamber, they're pretty funky also.
YoungStrife Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 Speaking of whic....how do scientists measure the speed of light!?
the GardenGnome Posted April 21, 2003 Author Posted April 21, 2003 Anything invovling Quantum Mechanics? I also had an idea of making an atom smasher.
greg1917 Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 I just recently measured the wavelength of sodium light by Newton's Rings for a physics investigation, turned out to be more accurate than I thought as well. I managed to get it within 2 nm of the accepted value, 589 nm. Has anyone else used this method and what kind of value did they get?
