Section 10
Objectives:
This lab gives us several objectives; all of which surrounding the overarching objective of
observing how light is absorbed and scattered. We will also be gaining an understanding
regarding how the rate of absorption increases exponentially, rather than linearly. Finally, this
lab will enable us to have an understanding as to how light scatters in the atmosphere and why
colors are projected as they are.

Document Summary
This lab gives us several objectives; all of which surrounding the overarching objective of observing how light is absorbed and scattered. We will also be gaining an understanding regarding how the rate of absorption increases exponentially, rather than linearly. Finally, this lab will enable us to have an understanding as to how light scatters in the atmosphere and why colors are projected as they are. This is because, while jim is removing more water in the initial phases of the process, he will always have some water in the bucket due to the exponential rate. As opposed to jim moving at a linear rate, which will result in a complete empty bucket: tim: n = 100(20/day) = 50 days. This lab provided us with a good understanding that the light at the end of the tank decreased as we added more milk. We were also able to understand the relationship with the different colors and scattering of lights.
