Description:
Newton’s Disk – Color Transformation:
The Rainbow Color Newton’s Disk is a wonderful and engaging experiment that showcases how white light can be broken down into its constituent colors and then reassembled to form white light again. It’s an excellent educational tool for teaching children about the nature of light and color.
- White Light: When you shine white light onto a Newton’s Disk, which is a circular spinning disk with segments of different colors (usually red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet), something fascinating happens. White light is a mixture of all colors of the visible spectrum.
- Color Separation: As the disk spins rapidly, the colors on the disk blend together. However, because of the way our eyes perceive color and the spinning motion, the colors appear to merge and create the illusion of white light again.
- Color Mixing: As the disk continues to spin, your eyes perceive it as white light, but it’s actually a rapid sequence of individual colors. This is due to the persistence of vision, where your eyes retain an image for a fraction of a second even after it’s no longer present. This effect causes your brain to blend the colors into white light.
- Recreating White Light: When the colors blend together as the disk spins, it recreates the impression of white light. This demonstrates that white light is composed of different colors in the visible spectrum.
Learning outcome:
Have a better understanding of a Rainbow Color Newton Disk to illustrate the dispersion of white light into its constituent colors, following Newton’s prism experiment using the model built by the student in this project
