  8. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion A cylindrical tube was set up as follows, over the 10 W light bulb. The apparatus was held in place using a retort stand. PART A

  9. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion This setup allowed us to keep the distance between the light bulb and the sensors constant. PART A

  11. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion • The luxmeter and spectrometer were both connected to a laptop, where SPARKvue was used to analyse data. • The brightness setting of the laptop was set to a minimum, and the screen was bent down and turned away from the apparatus so that it didn’t interfere with results. • The lights were turned off. • The 10 W light bulb was turned on for one minute, and the following data was recorded: • Light intensity over time • Light intensity of various wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum PART A

  13. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion For the secondtrial, two 5 W light globes were set up, one on the circuit on the left, and another on the right. The two circuits are identical. PART A

  14. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion A cylindrical tube was set up as follows, over the two 5 W light bulbs, which were placed right next to each other. PART A

  16. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion • The same steps used for the single 10 W light bulb were repeated with the two 5 W light bulbs. • The luxmeter and spectrometer were both connected to a laptop, where SPARKvue was used to analyse data. • The brightness setting of the laptop was set to a minimum, and the screen was bent down and turned away from the apparatus so that it didn’t interfere with results. • The lights were turned off. • The 5 W light bulbs were turned on for one minute, and the following data was recorded: • Light intensity over time • Light intensity of various wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum PART A

  17. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion The following are the results obtained for the single 10 W light bulb. NOTE: 70 is the standard deviation of the trial, which went for a minute. PART A

  19. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion The following are the results obtained for the two 5 W light bulbs. PART A

  20. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion

  21. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion • Part B continued on from Part A, using the same circuits. • For the single 10 W bulb: • After the single-bulb trial in Part A was finished, the resistance on the rheostat was increased in such a way that the voltage across the light bulb decreased by 0.5 V. • The lights were turned off. • The 10 W light bulb was turned on for one minute, and the following data was recorded: • Light intensity over time • Light intensity of various wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum PART B

  22. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion • Part B continued on from Part A, using the same circuits. • For the two 5 W bulbs: • After the double-bulb trial in Part A was finished, the resistance on both rheostats was increased in such a way that the voltage across each light bulb was decreased by 0.5 V. • The lights were turned off. • The 5 W light bulbs were turned on for one minute, and the following data was recorded: • Light intensity over time • Light intensity of various wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum PART B

  23. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion The following are the results obtained for the single 10 W light bulb. The following are the results obtained for the single 10 W light bulb after the voltage was decreased by 0.5 V. PART B

  24. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion

  25. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion The following are the results obtained for the two 5 W light bulbs. The following are the results obtained for the two 5 W light bulbs after the voltage was decreased by 0.5 V. PART B

  27. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion

  28. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion We performed some preliminary trials without the cylindrical tube first. The rest of the method was the same. The sensors were each held in place using retort stands and clamps.

  29. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion

  30. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion Some preliminary trials were performed without the cylindrical tube first. The rest of the method was identical. The sensors were each held in place using retort stands and clamps.

  31. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion There was a lot of variation in our results, because it was difficult to position the luxmeter at the same angle each time, using just the retort stands. This resulted in a large standard deviation.

  32. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion The bulb(s) and the luxmeter were then fixed in place inside the tube, in order to eliminate this problem.

  33. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion The following are the results obtained for the single 10 W light bulb. The following are the results obtained for the two 5 W light bulbs. Using these results, it can be seen that a single 10 W light bulb shines brighter than two 5 W light bulbs. PART A

  34. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion The following are the results obtained for the single 10 W light bulb during the preliminary trials. The following are the results obtained for the two 5 W light bulbs during the preliminary trials. The results from the preliminary trials also indicate that a single 10 W light bulb shines brighter than two 5 W light bulbs. PART A

  35. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion The following are the results obtained for the single 10 W light bulb. The following are the results obtained for the single 10 W light bulb after the voltage was decreased by 0.5 V. This suggests that a decrease in voltage leads to a decrease in light intensity. PART B

  36. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion

  37. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion The following are the results obtained for the two 5 W light bulbs. The following are the results obtained for the two 5 W light bulbs after the voltage was decreased by 0.5 V. This also suggests that a decrease in voltage results in a decrease in light intensity. PART B

  38. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion

  39. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion The following is a suggested method for Part C. Set up an external thermometer so that it is 1 cm away from a 5 W light bulb, and is pointing at the bulb’s filament. Use the same circuit outlined previously. The light bulb should be 5 W at 6 V. PART C

  40. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion The following is a suggested method for Part C. Gradually decrease the resistance of the rheostat, hence increasing the voltage supplied to the light bulb, until the fuse blows. Record the temperature at which the fuse blows. Set up two identical 5 W bulbs, each with different voltages supplied to them. Leave these on continuously for 72 hours. After the 72 hours have elapsed, measure the temperature of the filament of each globe to observe which globe is closest to the temperature at which the fuse blew in Step 2. Steps 3 and 4 could be repeated to get a wide range of voltages, and hence see how each voltage affects the lifetime of the bulb. PART C

  41. Aim Materials Method Results Discussion Conclusion A 10 W light bulb shines brighter than two 5 W light bulbs. As the voltage supplied to a light bulb decreases, the intensity of the light it produces also decreases.
