In this work we use the unusual behaviour of a light beam in a diffusion cell as an experimental introduction for university students of physics and engineering to the optical - mechanical analogy. We have found that the lecture demonstration is a key element in the development of the presentation and subsequent use of the analogy.

Abstract

In this work we use the unusual behaviour of a light beam in a diffusion cell as an experimental introduction for university students of physics and engineering to the optical - mechanical analogy. We have found that the lecture demonstration is a key element in the development of the presentation and subsequent use of the analogy.
