The following are possible ideas for the experiment:

Radiochemistry - Use of radioactive materials.

  Electron microscopy

X-ray crystallography

  Microwave crystallography

  Gas chromatography

  Ionisation of gases

  Chemical reactions

Optical experiments on various sources

  Photoelectric effect

Optical spectroscopy


    Ideas currently under development:

1. Photoelectric effect
Measurement of planck's constant and the work functions
of several materials.

2. Microwave crystallography
Using microwaves to measure Bragg's angle for different crystals
and to discover the crystal structure.


    I would also like to include a webcam with the experiment so that students could view the experiment while it happens, rather than just watch some numbers appear on their screen, thus making it more interesting and believable.

    Thank you to Emma Williams, Ian Martin, Dr Richard Pendarvis, Anthony Dawson, Newman Burdett and Dr Hugh Cartwright for their ideas and suggestions so far.

    Also thank you to those who have offered their services to test the experiment when it is up and running.
