Light and Weight, How Do They Relate?
| Division: | Physical & Mathematical Sciences | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Rideau-St. Lawrence | | City: | Lyn, ON | | School: | Thousand Islands S.S. | | Abstract: | This project tested the range and accuracy of a homemade Michelson interferometer modified as a measurement tool for tiny masses. The device uses principles of light interference, a lever and a mathematical formula to determine the mass of an object. After it was built, tested, and calibrated, it was able to accurately measure the mass of a sample such as an eyelash. |
