|
|
Original Sim and Translations |
Topics
- Photons
- Monochromatic Light
- White Light
- Rainbows
Description
Make a whole rainbow by mixing red, green, and blue light. Change the wavelength of a monochromatic beam or filter white light. View the light as a solid beam, or see the individual photons.
Sample Learning Goals
- Determine what color the person sees for various combinations of red, green, and blue light.
- Describe the color of light that is able to pass through different colored filters.
Teacher Tips
 |
Overview of sim controls, model simplifications, and insights into student thinking ( PDF ). |
