VISIBLE LIGHT: ray box experiments, prism effects & visible spectrum, refraction & diffraction of light, ray diagrams This page will answer many questions e.g. How do draw ray diagrams for visible light ray refraction experiments? How do we explain refraction by light waves? How do you explain diffraction of light waves? Why and how does a triangular prism produce a 'rainbow of colours'? How do you construct ray diagrams? Sub-index for this section on visible light experiments 1. Investigating refraction: air-prism or water interface, total internal reflection - fibre optics 2. The visible spectrum of light and triangular prism experiments to explain a 'rainbow' 3. Investigating diffraction of light e.g. effect of the surface of a CD (compact disc) 4. Examples of the coincidence of reflection and refraction at an interface See also Reflection, visible light, ray box experiments, ray diagrams, mirror uses WHERE NEXT?

WAVES - electromagnetic radiation, sound, optics-lenses, light and astronomy revision notes index Refraction and diffraction, the visible light spectrum, prism investigations, ray diagrams explained Electromagnetic spectrum, sources, types, properties, uses (including medical) and dangers See also Global warming, climate change, reducing our carbon footprint from fossil fuel burning The visible spectrum of colour, light filters and explaining the colour of objects The Structure of the Earth, crust, mantle, core and earthquake waves (seismic wave analysis) Astronomy - solar system, stars, galaxies and use of telescopes and satellites The life cycle of stars - mainly worked out from emitted electromagnetic radiation
