Converting a Homemade Cathode Ray Tube into a Laser
| Division: | International | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | South Shore | | City: | New Germany, NS, Bridgewater, NS | | School: | | | Abstract: | The first purpose of our project is to build a cathode ray tube out of common materials. The hypothesis is that if the proper materials are assembled in a precise manner, and proper conditions can be created, then a homemade cathode ray tube can be converted into a laser. The products can then be manufactured and made comercially available to schools for teaching atomic theory. |
