A circumzenithal arc to study optics concepts with geometrical optics
Isik, H. (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2017)This paper describes the formation of a circumzenithal arc for the purpose of teaching light and optics. A circumzenithal arc, an optic formation rarely witnessed by people, is formed in this study using a water-filled ... -
Demonstration of the tension force on a rope in circular motion
Koyuncu, K.; Yurumezoglu, K.; Isik, H. (2013)This experimental activity aims to visualize the variations in the tension force on a rope with a mass attached to it in horizontal and vertical circular motion. The results facilitate comprehension of the effect of the ... -
Estimating the value of the inclination angle of the lunar plane to the ecliptic plane
Suat Isildak, R.; Isik, H.; Asuman Küçüközer, H. (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2018)Sky appears to our students as a vast volume surrounding the Earth. The most striking astronomical events that they can witness in the sky are lunar phases and eclipses. However, eclipses do not occur as often as full and ... -
An instrumental method to identify electric charge types with a simple device
Isik, H. (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2015)In this study, an easy and enjoyable activity to determine the type of electric charge is presented, using a readymade electronic test screw. A four-way usage of the tester is explained with an electroscope. In the activity, ... -
