| Description | Through two classroom demos, students are introduced to the basic properties of lasers through various mediums. Students will gain an understanding of how light can be absorbed and transmitted by different mediums. Through two classroom demos, students are introduced to the basic properties of lasers through various mediums. In the Making an Electric Pickle demonstration, students see how cellular tissue is able to conduct electricity, and how this is related to various soaking solutions. In the Red/Green Lasers through Different Mediums demonstration, students see the properties of lasers, especially diffraction, in various mediums. Students will gain an understanding of how light can be absorbed and transmitted by different mediums. Follow-up lecture material introduces students to the mechanisms by which lasers function and relates these functions to the properties of light. In the associated activity, student teams research specific laser types and present their findings to the class. |
