Procedure
1. Gathered materials.
2. Taped solar
cell to support panel using duct tape.
3. Connected the
leads to the solar cell.
4. Connected solar
cell to volt metre.
5. Changed the
settings of the volt metre to MV.
6. Unrolled the
tape measurer to 3 metres, and then taped it to the ground so it would
remain stationary.
7. Put the 60 watt
light bulb in the lamp and turned off all lights in house (to make sure
there was no interference
from other light sources).
8. Turned lamp
on at twenty centimetres away from the solar cell.
9. Recorded measurement
from the volt metre.
10. Moved back by increments
of 10 centimetres until 300 centimetres, and recorded all observations
at each
increment.
11. Repeated steps 7-10
for energy saving light bulb.
12. Repeated step 7-10
for laser except without using the lamp,
