Tricolour illumination effect

Tricolour light effect within the box model

The group and I experimented with tricolour lights as an artificial sun for the box model. The group worked with each other, a few people held the coloured lights and a few people were responsible for taking photographs. The picture below shows the effect produced by the different coloured tricolour lights.

Sulphuric acid paper and tricolour light

Our group intends to use tracing paper to make the light softer. In our experiment, We crumpled the paper to see how it changed and we were surprised to find that the light came through the hole in the paper beautifully.

Transparent coloured PVC

The image below shows the multiple projections that our group created by stacking different colour PVC cards back and forth and then illuminating them with light. In the first small picture, we have tried using red and blue transparent PVC cards. In the second picture, we have tried bending a single red transparent card and in the third picture, we have tried placing blue and green transparent cards one behind the other for illumination.

Laser Iridescent Holographic Clear Transparent PVC

We tried to shine it from different angles and observe the change in colour of its projection on the wall. Afterwards, we tried to press it out of the crease, producing a wonderful shadow.

Laser iridescent holographic clear transparent PVC is placed vertically to the wall and illuminates it from the other side. The image on the right below shows the shadow left by the rolled-up Laser iridescent holographic clear transparent PVC.

More trials about this material’s reflection.

Findings

Transparent materials and light can produce unexpectedly beautiful patterns. Different lights can illuminate different colours of overlapping shadows.
