On Friday, in class we conducted a lab testing the voltage of light at different distances. Voltage is a measurement of electric force. We tested voltage at different distances by shining a light on a solar panel at a measured distance. We tested the voltage at the distances 0cm, 4cm, 8cm, 12cm and 16cm. Our hypothesis stated that the closer the distance of the light the higher the voltage and inversely, the farther away the light is from the solar panel the voltage will be lower.
Naturally, the farther away the light is the lower the voltage is because the electric energy is less at farther distances. This is shown in the results. The results did deviate from what was to be expected. The voltage was higher at the 16cm After testing for voltage at distances we tested voltage using colored filters. The lighter the filter in color the higher the voltage. This is because the lighter colors allow more light to pass through. These results are also showed the graphs below.
