    This document contains a student's LiFi practical investigation design template. The aim is to measure how changing the resistor value in the transmitting circuit affects the amplitude of the received electrical signal. The independent variable is the transmitting circuit resistor value, which will be changed between 50Ω, 100Ω, 220Ω, 1kΩ and 5kΩ. The dependent variable is the amplitude of the received signal, which will be measured using a cathode ray oscilloscope. It is hypothesized that increasing the transmitting resistor value will increase the received signal amplitude. The procedure, apparatus, circuit diagrams, risk assessment and data table are included.

    LIFI PRACTICAL INVESTIGATION - DESIGN TEMPLATE


    TITLE: LIFI INVESTIGATION: COMMUNICATION THROUGH VISIBLE LIGHT
    AIM: TO MEASURE CHANGE IN THE AMPLITUDE OF THE ELECTRICAL SIGNAL IN THE TRANSMITTING
    CIRCUIT

    4 Factors held Constant

    Independent Variable:

    1. Frequency of the Input signal


    (440Hz)
    2. Volume of the Input signal

    Dependent Variable:

    3. Orientation of the LED and LDR


    4. Cathode Ray Oscilloscope used
    for measurements of
    amplitude of the electrical
    signal

    Hypothesis
    (A clear statement of the expected relationship between independent and dependent variables, usually
    expressed as Ifthen)

    If the value of the resistor in the transmitting circuit is increased, then the amplitude
    of the trace shown on the screen (maximum voltage) will increase.

    others?

    What are you going to do about it

    Electrical Hazard (CRO)

    Make sure that the test tag is in date and there are no
    signs of damage to the wire.

    Trip Hazard (electrical

    Make sure all cables are kept on table or are covered on the ground
    using a safety strip.

    cables)
    Trip Hazard (students
    bags)

    Leave bags outside of the laboratory, underneath tables


    or kept in bag racks.

    Electrical Hazard
    (components within
    circuits)

    Make sure the wires within the circuits are not damaged
    so there is no open electricity source.

    Numbered steps (in correct sequential order, and including any repetitions) for changing
    independent variable and measuring dependent variable:

    1. Collect all equipment needed (make sure to check the battery pack and
    electrical leads for damage)
    2. Construct a transmitting circuit on the left side of the breadboard (make sure to
    use the 6V battery pack for this circuit)
    3. Check if the LED lights up
    4. Construct a receiving circuit on the right side of the breadboard
    5. Check to see if both circuits work using the audio jack by running the output
    through the LED
    6. Connect the receiving circuit to the CRO using alligator clips
    7. Make sure the CRO is set to the settings needed
    8. Measure the trace of the electrical signal from peak to peak using the CRO
    squares shown on the screen
    9. Record your finding in the data table below

    10.
    Repeat steps 6-8 replacing the resistor from the transmitting resistor with
    another and record data
    Data table:
    Consider how best to design your data table. Include column headings, etc., but do not
    insert entries into the body of the table. Remember to include columns for any calculations
    that need to be made from your raw readings.
