Project 37
Scattering Light
Project 34
Prismatic Film
Project 36
Look at the
Lights
Semi-transparent
materials scatter
the light without
c o m p l e t e l y
blocking it, so a
wide area of the
liquid or material
is lit up by the
light.
This
happens in the
egg
LED
This is the same circuit as project 1, but
you will view it differently. Turn on the
switch (S1), and view the lamp (L1)
through the prismatic film (the clear
slide). Prismatic film makes interesting
light effects.
View different light sources in
and around your home
through the prismatic film.
This is the same circuit as project 2, but
you will view it differently. Turn on the
switch (S1), and view the LED through
the prismatic film (the clear slide).
Prismatic film makes interesting light
Use the project 34
and 35 circuits, but
view the lamp and
color LED through
various
semi-
t r a n s p a r e n t
liquids, glassware,
and
plastics.
Juices, jello, and
cloudy glass or
plastic work well.
Project 35
Prismatic LED
Project 38
Power Shifter
When you turn on
the slide switch
(S1), the color LED
(D8) is on and the
lamp (L1) is off.
Push the press
switch (S2) to
bypass the LED.
The lamp turns on
and the LED turns
off. This shows how
switches can be
used to shift power
between different
devices.
Prismatic
film
separates light into
different colors. White
light is a combination
of all colors.
