AI Thread Summary
To test how bright a wall becomes when glass is mixed with paint fibers, a light meter is essential for measuring the illuminance or intensity of reflected light. These devices can be found at local camera stores, which typically carry professional equipment. A light meter is a handheld device featuring a white half-sphere on top for accurate readings. Using this tool will provide the necessary data for the experiment. Proper measurement is crucial to understanding the impact of glass on paint brightness.

I have to design an experiment that tests how bright a certain wall gets when glass is mixed in with the fibers of the paint. I'm thinking that there is some device to help measure the illuminance or intensity light that is reflected off the wall. However, I may be way off base and am completely missing the point. Please help!

What you need is a light meter. Any local camera store (not a 1-hour booth, but a real camera store) will have these. It's a hand-held box with a white half-sphere on the top of it.
