Investigating How the Size of a Shadow Depends on the Angle at Which the Light Hits the Object
Introduction
============
The aim of the project is to see which factors affect the size of a
shadow and then to look more closely at one of the factors to see how
exactly it varies the size of a shadow.
Variables that may affect the size of the shadow
================================================
Although, I will investigate how one factor affects the size of a
shadow, there are other factors that could be investigated. Here are
some examples:
1) The distance between the light and the object
From the ray diagrams I can see that as the distance from the object
to the light source is doubled, the length of the shadow decreases. A
distance of 4cm produces a shadow of approximately 1.6-cm. Decreasing
the distance to 2cm(half the distance), the shadow size increases by
one and a half times to produce a shadow of 2.3 cm. The three ray
diagrams together show the increase of the distance between the object
and light source, decreasing the length of the shadow.
2) The distance between the object and the screen
The results from this are opposite varying the previous factor. In
this case the length of the shadow increased as the distance from the
edge of the object to the screen increased. I expected that as the
distance dubled, the length of the shadow would double but according
to the ray diagram that was not the case. The length of the shadow
The results from this are opposite to varying the previous factor. In
this case, the length of the shadow increased as the distance from the
edge of the object to the screen increased. I expected that as the
distance doubled, the length of the shadow would double but according
to the ray diagrams, that was not the case. The length of the shadow
increased by 1.6 times between changing the distance from 2 cm to 4 cm
(ie:doubling the distance).
In order to make the decision, this report measures the following qualitative and quantitative areas:

In my experiment I am going to see how light affects the rate of photosynthesis. To do this experiment I am going to set up the apparatus as shown in figure 1.
The study follows the descriptive analytical method. It begins by an introduction forming a background to the study; followed by a summary of the plot, a literature review, a discussion and a conclusion.

To understand the topic surface area better, the results could have been improved by exploring why.
Now take a line which has been cut into two unequal parts and divide each of them again in the same proportion, and suppose the two main divisions to answer, one to the visible and the other to the intelligible, and then compare the subdivisions in respect of their clearness and want of clearness, and you will find that the first section in the sphere of the visible consists of images. And by images I mean, in the first place, shadows, and in the second place, reflections in water and in solid, smooth and polished bodies and the like: Do you understand?

Shadowgraphy - an optical measurement technique is a field measurement method (image forming method) based on variation of refractive index in the flow field. The density of a fluid varies with temperature, salinity, and pressure. And, the index of refraction changes with fluid density. If a screen is placed opposite the light source, these effects create shadows on the screen creating an image called a Shadowgraph. The image ca...
