Changes

Two different alcohols, ethanol and propanol, were measured out and mixed with tap water to create different concentrations.  In the first 5 vials were concentrations of ethanol, the next five were concentrations of propanol, and in the last vial was tap water only.  The fibers destined for the vials were cut, measured cross-sectionally and lengthwise, and weighed with a milligram scale.  Both scintillating fibers and lightguides were tested.

The vials were left to sit in a dark, climate controlled area for two weeks.  After the two week period, the fibers were drained, left to dry, and measured again.  The raw data, as well as the plotted results, can be seen by clicking on the link below.
