Students Observe Force from Light
Demonstrates that light can produce force on dark colored surfaces
Four square panels / vanes are mounted on a rotating shaft in an evacuated glass tube / bulb
One side of each vane is black; the other side is silver
Direct light pushes on the black sides, causing the wind vane to rotate
Glass base for stability
