Exciting Physics Experiments to Arouse Student's Curiosity and Interest in Physics

Takashi Iizuka,
Professor, Computer Solid State Physics Laboratory

The purpose of this project is to do exciting physics experiments and demonstration different from formal physics in the text book. Emphasis is placed on light and color which are related to fundamental concepts in computer graphics. We made the plan and fabricated devices, materials and photographs for demonstrations such as a perfect black surface constructed by bundled razor blades and diffraction patterns drawn by using PostScript which were photographed on 35mm films for diffraction experiment by using laser beam, and so on.
