I will keep a journal for my findings about light bending and how water affects it. It will show how I figured out about how light bends with the help of water. I will be jotting down everything I find about light bending. I will also include my struggles of trying to bend light. The journal will include what I did on my project that specific day and what I found out.
Journal Entry:
Today I researched about light bending in the past for my History connection. I found that not many people believed in the bending of light because they did not have proof of it. Although there were many theories about it, no one could prove it. After a few minutes, I finally found about Albert Einstein's theory about light bending. Other scientists tried it, but it was not entirely proven. Although the theory was not proven, it did explain why light bends.
Journal Entry:
While recording for Task 10 and 11, I pointed the laser to the mirror. I have read before that light reflects back when it hits an object that is similar to a mirror. While pointing the laser to the mirror, I realized that the light from the laser does reflect back. I was extremely fascinated by it and did further research. I found the Law of Reflection, which says that reflection changes the direction of the light ray.
The Law of Reflection says that the light reflects back on an angle, which explains why it goes another direction, almost making a triangle.
