LASER
SPEED OF LIGHT/RECEIVER PROJECT In
the last few years, lasers have become invaluable tools
in thousands of scientific, medical and communications applications.
This project, in several individual experiments, demonstrates
a laser's unique ability to perform a variety of tests with
deceptive ease.
Included:
- Measuring the speed of light
- Transmitting and receiving audible signals
using light as the transport medium
- Transmitting and detecting black-and-white
video signals using light
The modulated laser included with this
kit can also be utilized for hundreds of other classroom and
real-life projects. The instruction manual contains detailed
instructions and diagrams that describe equipment set-up,
as well as a historical journey into efforts to measure the
speed of light. This is a great opportunity to learn not only
about new technology, but also the very human history behind
it. Included in the kit are a .8 mW diode laser, optical
beam splitter, first- surface mirror, converging lens, optics
mounts, microphone, electronic control/receiver box with 2-channel
receiver and 1 MHz oscillator, a VAC-to-DC power adapter,
optics table and step-by-step instruction book. Not included
but required for operation are a modulated laser, video camera
and monitor and a dual -channel 40 MHz oscilloscope.
