Experiment
‘Objective: To verify inverse square lw.
Apparatus Required:
1. Optics bench
2) Light source
2) Phota detector
4. Fix stand
5. Sliding stand
Procedure:
lace the optics bench in the dar oom adjust the height ofthe bench with he
help of Leveling screw.
2 Fix the light source with a holding rod
5. Now mount the light source onthe fist fixed sand at Oem of he optes bench
4. Mount the Detector on the sliding stand in front of light Source.
‘Take multimeter and connect the probe of multimeter to photo detector with
polarity wis.
{Now set mulkimeter at milivolt range and take the reading of mv, it will give

Note: The detector should be properly illuminated by the light coming fom a
housing lamp.

12, Now move the detector away fom light source by the inerement of 10cm andthe
reading of voltage.
‘Note: As photo transistor is device which convert optical ight 0 electical signals, so
