i need help with this experimental design.the topic is...what happens to your image that is initially observed in a flat mirror from 10 feet away and then you move further away to 20 feet? But i need to know how do I make up procedures (steps-in outline form) for this experimental design? please help.
Sure, I can help you with creating procedures for your experimental design. Here are the steps in an outline form:
1. Set up the experimental area: Find a suitable location with a flat mirror, clear of any obstructions, at a height where you can easily observe your reflection.
2. Measure and mark the distances: Measure a distance of 10 feet away from the mirror and mark it with a visible marker. Similarly, measure a distance of 20 feet away and mark it as well.
3. Prepare materials: Make sure you have all the necessary materials such as a ruler, measurement tape, a notepad, and a pen to record your observations.
4. Initial observation: Stand at the 10 feet mark in front of the mirror. Observe your image carefully and make note of any details you notice in terms of clarity, size, brightness, or any distortions. Record your observations in your notepad.
5. Move to 20 feet mark: Step back to the 20 feet mark while maintaining the same line of sight with the mirror. Make sure you are positioned exactly at the marked distance.
6. Observe again: Look into the mirror from the new position and carefully observe your reflection. Again, note down any changes you notice in terms of clarity, size, brightness, or distortions compared to the previous observation.
7. Analyze and record data: Compare the observations you made at both 10 feet and 20 feet distances. Look for any patterns, differences, or similarities between the two observations. Record your findings systematically in your notepad.
8. Repeat the experiment (optional): To ensure the accuracy of your findings, you can repeat steps 4 to 7 multiple times with different participants or at different times to gather more data and averages of your experiment.
9. Data analysis: After conducting the experiment and collecting enough observations, analyze the data you recorded. Look for any trends or patterns that may suggest any changes in your reflection as you move further away from the mirror.
10. Draw conclusions: Based on your data analysis, draw conclusions about what happens to your image in a flat mirror as you move from 10 feet away to 20 feet away. Make sure to consider any changes in clarity, size, brightness, or distortions as you move further away.
Remember to keep detailed notes throughout the entire process, and make note of any potential limitations or sources of error in your experimental design.
