6B10.10checker boardPIRA 500
6B10.10checker board6B10.10Use a point source to superimpose shadows of a rectangle and a 3h x 3w checkerboard rectangle.
6B10.10inverse square lawOi-1A rectangular paddle and a 3Hx3W paddle are placed so shadows overlap and the distances are measured.

6B10.15inverse square modelO-1b.1A wire frame pyramid connects areas of 1, 4, and 16 units.
6B10.20inverse square law with photometerPIRA 1000
6B10.20inverse square with photocellL-11Double and triple the distance from an arc source to a photocell connected to a galvanometer.
6B10.20foot-candle meterO-1b.2Use a Weston type foot-candle meter to measure the inverse square law.
6B10.20inverse square lawDisc 21-10Double and triple the distance between a source and photometer. Graph.
6B10.30paraffin block photometerPIRA 500
6B10.30paraffin block photometer6B10.30Two large paraffin blocks with tin foil sandwiched in between make a sensitive photometer. Use with lamps on either side.
6B10.30paraffin blick photometerOi-4Two paraffin blocks separated by an aluminum sheet are moved between two light sources until they appear equally bright.
6B10.30Joly diffusion photometerL-12Tin foil is sandwiched between two blocks of paraffin. Can be mounted in a box for greater accuracy.
6B10.35grease spot photometerPIRA 1000
6B10.35grease spot photometerOi-3A piece of paper with a grease spot is moved between two light sources until the spot disappears.
6B10.35Bunsen grease-spot photometerL-14A grease spot disappears when illuminated equally from both sides. Diagram of a grease-spot box.
6B10.40Rumford shadow photometerPIRA 1000
6B10.40Rumford photometerOi-2Light sources are moved until their shadows of the same object are of equal intensity.
6B10.40Rumford shadow photometerL-13Two light sources are moved so the shadow cast by a vertical rod is of the same intensity.
6B10.50frosted globe - surface brightnessPIRA 1000
6B10.50frosted globe - surface brightness6B10.50The surface brightness of a 40 W bulb is compared to a frosted globe placed over it.
6B10.50surface brightnessOi-6A lamp with measured candlepower is enclosed in a frosted globe.
6B10.55frosted globesPIRA 1000
6B10.55frosted globes6B10.55
6B10.60surface brightness of a lensOi-8Place the eye at the image point of a lens focused on a dim lamp.
6B10.65reflected surface brightnessOi-7With a bright spot at the object point of a concave mirror and the eye at the image point, the whole mirror seems to have the same surface brightness as the spot.
6B10.70laser and light bulbAJP 43(1),111A .5 mW laser beam can be seen on the glass beside the bright center of a 25 W frosted incandescent bulb.
6B10.80covered strobe and detectorOi-5The amplitude of a signal displayed on an oscilloscope from a translucent covered photodetector and from a translucent covered strobe changes as the angles and distances are changed.
