  • @shribalajiv2806
    @shribalajiv2806 Před měsícem

    If possible can you try an experiment that I came up with. The things you need are an empty room, a light source and you inside the room. What I have in mind is that , when the light source is turned on you are able to see the walls of the room because they reflect light from the light source. But what if we make the surface of the walls so imperfect that in whatever direction light may hit the wall it does not get reflected to atleast a single point in the room. Which means if you observe the room from that point, even if there is a light source in that room, you would not be able to see anything like the wall and the ceiling in the room.

I've watched loads of styropyro, so I have a somewhat good idea of what those can do. Did you have it on a low power setting? Or was the material safer for that laser to go across?
