I'm not a physics sort of person really so I only know the absolute basics about light rays and the electromagnetic spectrum etc but this place seems to be full of people with physics degrees so I thought I'd ask here /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
I've noticed that when I point the laser through different fluids that the beam from my 40-50mw greenie is different in terms of brightness.
Is the viscosity of the fluid indirectly proportional to how far through the liquid the beam can pass? And another one, if the liquid gets more viscous towards the bottom of the container and the laser is pointer into the liquid at an angle, would the laser beam bend?
