Light of my life

We have been learning all about light and optics this unit and will be having a HUGE lab day next week.  In the mean time we have done a few activities that are really fun and help bring the physics of light to life!

Looking at various light sources through a diffraction gradient makes a variety of spectra.



LED

Fluourcent
Incandescent
We also learnt about how green, blue, and red are the primary colours of light (just like your TV pixels) and when you mix them you get white ... well sort of.
