Background

Experiment Description

Three different colored stained glass bottles (red, orange, and yellow) were used for this activity. A tungsten bulb was used as the light source. The PDA detector was placed inside the bottle while the light bulb was directed at the bottle. The experiment was conducted in a room with little light exposure.

Data
