Guided by water - Liquid fibers with Laser and Water Jet Experiment
Activities proposed
"Discover the Power of Light: Laser and Water Jet Experiment
Come and witness a fascinating phenomenon of modern physics at the European Researchers' Night! In this engaging experiment, we will demonstrate how a simple water jet can behave like an optical fiber, guiding a laser beam along its path. It will be amazing! This example of a waveguide will help you understand the basic principles behind the communication technologies we use every day.
From data transmission on the internet to telecommunications and modern medicine, optical fibers are at the heart of many technological applications. Don’t miss the chance to see how physics and science are all around us, in ways that are both simple and extraordinary.
Join us to explore the magic of light and waves, and discover the future of technologies based on this principle!
