Introduction
The purpose of the experiment was to show how prism separates white light into its component colors and to show how different colors are refracted at different angles through a prism. It was hypothesized that violet color would be the most refracted because it had the lowest wavelength.
Materials
- Light source
- Trapezoid from Ray Optics Kit
- Blank White Paper
Procedure
The light source was placed in a ray box mode on a sheet of blank white paper and a single white ray was selected by turning the wheel. Trapezoid was positioned such that its acute angle side faced ...
