Let there be Light
| Division: | Physical & Mathematical Sciences / Environmental Innovation | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Calgary Youth | | City: | Calgary, AB | | School: | Sir Winston Churchill High School | | Abstract: | This experiment was performed to discover if LEDs emitting a narrow spectrum of light could be used to grow plants as a substitute to traditional artificial lighting with similar results. Six different colours of LEDs were used to grow radish plants, along with a positive and a negative control. The resultant biomasses and heights for each approximate wavelength range of light were compared. |
