Artificial Rainbow

Optics & Eye Health

★Exhibit Content: Refraction and dispersion of light ★Interaction: Electromechanical interaction ★Operation: 1. Press the start button to turn on the white light source; 2. Turn the dial to adjust the prism until a rainbow appears. ★Exhibit Description: This exhibit uses a prism to create a rainbow, demonstrating the principles of light refraction and dispersion. It is a recommended exhibit for the PopsciCat Exhibit Store. It helps visitors understand how rainbows form. The exhibit mainly consists of a display stand, prism, button, handwheel, white background board, and light source. Visitors adjust the angle of the prism by operating the handwheel, projecting the monochromatic light decomposed by the prism from white light onto the white background board. ★Scientific Principle: This exhibit uses a prism to create a rainbow, demonstrating the principles of light refraction and dispersion. In optics, the process of decomposing polychromatic light into monochromatic light is called dispersion of light. Light composed of two or more monochromatic lights (light composed of two or more frequencies) is called polychromatic light. Light that cannot be further decomposed (having only one frequency) is called monochromatic light. Generally, passing white light (polychromatic light) through a prism produces dispersion. For the same medium, the higher the frequency of light, the greater the refractive index of the medium for that light. In visible light, violet light has the highest frequency, and red light has the lowest frequency. When white light passes through a prism, the prism has the greatest refractive index for violet light. After passing through the prism, violet light deviates the most, and red light deviates the least. Thus, the prism separates light of different frequencies, producing dispersion of light.
