Agrawal, Dulli Chandra – Physics Education, 2018
Incandescent lamps are not only good sources of electromagnetic energy radiations but their operating temperatures are comparable to the temperatures of stars also. These features can be exploited to teach apparent magnitude scale both theoretically and experimentally. The numerical illustrations presented corresponding to 10, 100, 1000 and 10 000…

Dedes, Christos; Ravanis, Konstantinos – Science & Education, 2009
This study investigates the effectiveness of a teaching conflict procedure whose purpose was the transformation of the representations of 12-16-year-old pupils in Greece concerning light emission and shadow formation by extended light sources. The changes observed during the children's effort to destabilize and reorganise their representations…

Touati, Faiza; McGuigan, Kevin G.; Cassidy, John – Journal of Chemical Education, 2007
A simple method of casting with a Ti[O[subscript]2]/polyvinylchloride (PVC) composite layer was used to describe the behavior of coated electrodes. The system demonstrated that even with low energy light sources, an enhancement of the oxidation efficiency is possible.

Kraftmakher, Yaakov – European Journal of Physics, 2007
A student experiment on dynamic calorimetry is described. Dynamic calorimetry is a powerful technique for calorimetric studies, especially at high temperatures and pressures. A low-power incandescent lamp serves as the sample. The ScienceWorkshop data-acquisition system with DataStudio software from PASCO Scientific displays the results of the…
