Can a bulb be used as convex lens?
« on: 15/06/2016 13:12:07 »
Dear all
I have used a bulb which is filled in with water, it works like a convex lens to concentrate solar energy.
The performance of the water bulb gets highest level when I incline the bulb like in the clip. Solar light beam focus on a bigger dot, in compared with the dot when let the bulb standing vertically.

See my clip at

Do you have a science question?
If not we will move this to science experiments
