Making things glow in the dark

Have you ever wondered what makes certain things glow under black lights?

For this experiment you will need:

• a black light
• petroleum jelly
• a piece of paper

First we’ll use the petroleum jelly as a kind of invisible ink. Dip your finger into the jelly, then use your finger to write a message on the piece of paper. Use more jelly if you need to – but this probably isn’t the time to write a long speech! When you’re finished, wipe any remaining jelly off your finger. Have the black light ready, then turn off the room lights and turn on the black light.

Telescope:
An optical instrument for making distant objects appear
larger, make or become shorter by sliding each section
inside the next; compress or become compressed forcibly.
Telescopes are of two kinds. refractors and reflector type.
The refractors telescopes use lenses which bend the light rays
and the image is seen as magnified object. Reflector telescopes
are mirrors to display the image. There are three kinds of
telescopes they are Galilean, Newtonian and cassegranian.

Materials to make your own telescope:

light a light bulb with a balloon

light a light bulb with a balloon 

you need:

hard rubber comb or balloon
a darken room
fluorescent light bulb ( not an incandescent bulb )

SOUND LENS USING A BALLOON

SOUND LENS USING A BALLOON

A ballopn full of CO2 gas can act as a  sound lens, because sound travels
More slowly in CO2than it does in air ,

How to make lumia box?

    The Lumia Box

What is a Lumia Box?
A lumia box is also known as a "camera obscura". The words
camera obscura mean "dark room" in Latin. Some camera
 obscuras are really the size of a room; you actually get inside,
and look at images on the wall coming from either a hole or a lens
 on the opposite side of the room.I call this project a lumia box
 because the purpose is not simply to look at images of the world
, but to create unusual images of pure light. "Lumia" historically
 are kinetic-art sculptures that create patterns of moving, vibrant colour.

This simple box makes that possible......
