  • A Summary Of The Effect Of Intensity On The Power Of Solar Cells

    1146 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Effect of Intensity on the Power of Solar Cells This experiment involves changing the intensity of light falling on different cells and measuring their power outputs. Higher intensity of light means that there are more photons hitting the surface of the cell per unit area per second. The more hit the cell, the more rapidly the electrons move across the p-n junction, so the larger the emf produced. If the rate of movement of electrons is inhibited, then the greater

    An Experiment to Show the Relation Between Light Intensity and Photosynthesis Introduction Photosynthesis takes places in the leaves of plants, mostly in the palisade layer of the leaf. Photosynthesis is the plants way of creating energy for itself(sugar), for growth, repair, storage and energy production. The test will be to find out the relationship between light intensity (voltage) and the rate of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is: Carbon dioxide + water + sunlight ---> oxygen

    The Effect of Light Intensity on the Rate of Photosynthesis in an Aquatic Plant Introduction The input variable I will be investigating is light, as light is just one of the 4 factors required in the green-plant process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which green-plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, water & chlorophyll to produce their own food source. This process is also affected by the temperature surrounding the plant (the species of plant we experimented with

    The Relationship Between Light Intensity and the Rate of Photosynthesis Investigate the relationship between light intensity and the rate of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is important because animals eat food, as it is a source of energy. All living things need a constant supply of energy if they are to grow, reproduce or move. Plants do not eat food but they do have some in the form of starch in their leaves. The symbol equation for photosynthesis is: 6 CO2+6 H2O-light C6 H12 06+6

  • An Investigation into the Effect of Light Intensity on the Rate of Photosynthesis on a Piece of Elodea

    1510 Words  | 4 Pages

    An Investigation into the Effect of Light Intensity on the Rate of Photosynthesis on a Piece of Elodea Plan: Method: 1) First I will put some water into a boiling tube and add 5 spatulas of Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate. I will add 5 spatulas of Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate as it reacts with water and forms carbon dioxide; also I have so much so that I have carbon dioxide in excess. 2) Then I will cut off 5cm of elodea and place it into the boiling tube. 3) Thirdly I will place the boiling

  • Investigating the Effect of Light Intensity on Photosynthesis in a Pondweed

    1053 Words  | 3 Pages

    Investigating the Effect of Light Intensity on Photosynthesis in a Pondweed Aim: To investigate how the rate of photosynthesis changes at different light intensities, with a pondweed. Prediction: I predict that the oxygen bubbles will decrease when the lamp is further away from the measuring cylinder, because light intensity is a factor of photosynthesis. The plant may stop photosynthesising when the pondweed is at the furthest distance from the lamp (8cm). Without light, the plant

  • The Effect of Light Intensity on the Rate of Oxygen Production in a Plant While Photosynthesis is Taking Place

    512 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Effect of Light Intensity on the Rate of Oxygen Production in a Plant While Photosynthesis is Taking Place Hypothesis: I predict that as the intensity of light is increased, so would the photosynthesis. Furthermore, I predict that if the light intensity increases, the rate of photosynthesis will increase at a proportional rate and more oxygen will be produced and therefore the oxygen levels will increase. However, the lower the light intensity, less oxygen will be produced which would

    possible without intensity knocking on the door. It allows an individual to experience the highest realms of accomplishment, especially at the physical level. Physically, athletes are the ones to experience the true definition of intensity first hand through the way they prepare and compete. Intensity is the most tremendous physical or mental level of struggle that an individual can reach and experience while in the process of accomplishing a task. To experience absolute intensity in a daily environment

  • Light Intensity

    Light Intensity Hypothesis § A light bulb gives out light when electricity passes through it § The more volts you add, the more intense the light is. As you double the voltage, the light intensity doubles. § This is because the rays are more concentrated. The rays are twice as concentrated as the intensity doubles, as more power is running through the circuit § The LDR (Light dependent resistor) measures how intense the light is § The LDR frees up electrons, decreasing resistance

    in the microscopic light results, it can be seen that the results would obey the inverse square law. This was because as the distance increases the light intensity of the microscopic light decreases. The graphs that demonstrate the inverse square law can be seen in figure 1 and 3. Thus, it is evident that the relationship between light intensity varies inversely with the square of the distance holds truth in real-life situations and or under laboratory conditions. The reason for this was because figure

    In the light intensity experiment, tubes of buffer solution, chloroplast, water and DPIP were placed in different intensities of light to determine how light intensity affects the reaction rate of photosynthesis. The reaction rate was measured by absorbance values in five-minute increments for 30 minutes. The tubes were placed at 24 cm away, 30 cm away, 49 cm away, and completely dark. The tube that was closest to the light had the smallest absorbance value, while the dark tube had the highest value

    high light intensities, whereas the leaves facing the North of the garden will have been exposed to low light intensities. Although the Ivy leaves are facing different directions they are still from the same soil system. I will take 15 leaves from each stem and draw around them onto squared paper. By doing this I will be able to calculate their area. I will then compare the average size of the leaves in high light intensities to the average size of the leaves in low light intensities. This should
