Project Name : Photometer
Theme Name : Mathematics in Everyday Life
The theme of our project is photometry. It is a concept wherein we use luminosity of a known source to find out the intensity of an unknown source. The device used here is known as photometer. In our experiment we have created a very simple photometer using two paraffin blocks interjected by an aluminum foil sheet. This acts as an eye detector for the intensity of the light sources. We take 2 light sources, we find a position of the photometer where both sides are equally lit we take 4 such distances from both sides of light sources and apply them in inverse square law formula.
We have relied on this formula for our project-I1/(d1)2= I2/(d2)2
