1.- Artificial Sunset: Why is the sky blue?
Why is the sunset reddish? Design one experiment to simulate both the sunset
and blue sky in the lab.
2.- Solar energy: Do some research and provide numbers about how large
a solar panel need to be so to provide enough energy to run a computer a day
with 8 hours of sun light. Assume a computer needs 100kWh a day.
3.-
Wave interference: do an experiment
of water wave interference from two sources, take a picture of the resulting
pattern to submit. How the pattern looks like if the two sources oscillate
faster?
