Schlieren Experiment Diagram: 12.12.10



This diagram shows the layout we used for our latest results. We feel that by having the mirror laying on a table top we were able to get clearer images than when we used a clamp vertically. We think this is because the mirror is acrylic and flexes thus giving us inconsistent results. A glass parabolic mirror should have been purchased originally to insure we could gain the best results from the start.
