No, a lava lamp is not considered a type of optical device.

I am not sure that you know what you are asking. To heat something manually is to hold it in your hands and warm it up to your own body temperature; that is not hot enough to break a lava lamp. The only thing you can destroy with your own body heat is a snowflake. But I don't think that's what you really mean. If you are going to position your lava lamp over a candle, then yes, you might break it. What's wrong with using the built-in light, did it burn out?
"Blobs In A Bottle" is the name of a simple science experiment that creates a lava lamp effect inside of a soda bottle. The instructions for the experiment can be found at: www.sciencebob.com. Click on "Experiments"
The conclusion for a lava lamp experiment depends on the thesis. If the thesis talks about the temperature for example the conclusion should reflect that.
No, it is not necessary to remove the bottle cap from a lava lamp. The bottle cap is meant to secure the liquid inside the lamp and should remain in place while the lamp is in use.
magma...light? xD
It depends on the size of the lava lamp
It is called a lava lamp because of its resemblance to flowing lava. The lamp contains wax or oil that moves in a mesmerizing way, similar to the slow movement of lava.
Well there is a metal springy at the bottom of your lava lamp, It helps heat the lava (wax) in the bottle.
A lava lamp is considered a mixture. It is a combination of oil, water, and wax that behaves as a solution when heated.
I have a lava lamp from the 70's and it cost $20
The Lava Lamp was invented by Edward Craven Walker and first went on sale in 1963. Walker was inspired by a lamp he saw in a bar 15 years earlier, and eventually perfected the "lava" recipe, using a combination of oil, wax, and various other solids. Originally marketed in Europe under the name Astro Lamp, it was eventually brought to the states by two American entrepreneurs and sold as the Lava Lite lamp.
The manipulated variable in making a lava lamp is the temperature of the lamp, which can be adjusted to control the movement of the colored blobs in the lamp.
No, you should not use corn oil for a homemade lava lamp. Corn oil is not ideal for creating the lava lamp effect due to its density and chemical composition. It's better to use mineral oil or vegetable oil for better results.
The lava in a lava lamp rises and falls due to changes in temperature. If the lamp is not warm enough, the lava may not heat up sufficiently to flow downward. Ensure the lamp is placed in a warm area and allow some time for the lava to heat up and flow naturally.
