The hypothesis is that the polarized lens will best absorb ultraviolet light of all lens materials with and without tints and coatings tested.

You will construct a reflecting box, gather the materials, and measure the amount of UV light that passes through each lens.

You will need a UV light meter, a reflecting box, a UV lamp arc, assorted types of spectacle lenses, a notepad, a stopwatch, and a photometer.

The results of this experiment indicate that the polarized lens best absorbs UV light when compared to other lens materials with different tints and coatings tested. The #3 tints absorbed an average of 97% UV light and the lighter tints and coatings absorbed only 59%. The photometer was considerably more sensitive, giving much better data.

This science project is interesting because it shows how different lens materials can provide different levels of protection from the sun's UV rays.

Experiment variations to consider include testing different types of lenses, such as mirrored lenses, and testing different levels of UV light.

Hey there! Here are some awesome videos about this science project that we think you'll really like. They're not only super fun, but they'll also help you learn more about the science behind the project. So sit back, relax, and get ready to have some fun!!
