Conclusion
The Principles Used for the Experiment is the
principle of Inverse Square Law and Polarization which
was investigated in procedures 1 and 2 respectively. The
Inverse Square Law and the 1st procedure aims to explain
how the Intensity varies per distance from a light source.
Evidence to prove this claim is given in Table 1) Inverse
Square law. In Table 1, it is given that when Transmittance
of light is decreased, intensity could still be compensated
by decreasing the distance between the light source and
the screen. But if intensity is desired to be decreased,
then we can therefore add distance between the light
source and the screen or add a filter that will decrease
transmittance.
The Second Procedure aims to explain how
Polarization affects the transmittance of unpolarized light
dependent to the angle between two polarizers. This was
proven to have an effect because it its seen on Table 2)
that during in order for the unpolarized light to match the
intensity with the transmitted light, the polarizers must
be moved. Whereas by increasing the angle between the
Polarizers, we can match with the intensity of the light
affected by the filters. With the Answers from both Part 1
and Part 2, we can therefore conclude that Intensity of
Light is Dependent on the filter type which the light
passes through and the Distance of the light source to the
Point we want to measure it.
To improve the results of the experiment, a digital
photometer which would help with determining whether
the light is equal or not compared to relying totally on the
eyes of the students. Since the students have different
perception of colors, this could lead to conflict among the
students since one could think that the intensity is
