I need to know how to make lights attract?

Question

i'm doing a project where you have to make a model of aurora borealis and i take a globe and flash light and shine the light on the globe but it can only hit the north and south poles

Answer 1

There is no possible way to make the light from a flashlight only go to the poles of a globe. But what you could do is use a "blacklight" i.e a UV light, and paint your globe flat black except for the poles where you could apply a phosphorescent paint which would glow when the blacklight strikes it. This would look really cool and would accomplish your goal, I think.

Answer 2

I'm not really sure what you're getting it, but if you have a globe made up of a partially reflective material and if you shine the flashlight beam tangentially over one of the poles, you will see some refraction circumferentially, which is similar to what happens with the aurora borealis.

If Science Nut understood what you were trying to do, then his answer is great. I love it!

Answer 3

this link might help you
or try this one,it has a photo from the space shuttle of the aurora lights on both poles.
