Refraction of Light Experiment | Dispersion of Light through Prism | Science Experiments for kids

Refraction of Light through prism | Dispersion of Light explained | Science Experiments for kids Light Dispersion and refraction through prism. Have you ever noticed that diamonds sparkle in sunlight? Ever wondered why? They sparkle and give seem to be giving out different colors. Just like oil spilt on any surface showcases different colors. The reason behind these phenomena is the diffraction of light. Before we understand what refraction is let us conduct this easy and cool experiment of extracting a rainbow from white light  For this experiment, you’ll need • Prism • White light • And a dark room where the refraction can be clearly seen. Procedure: • Take the prism and keep it on the table. • Ensure that the room is considerable dark for this light to be obvious. • When light travels through the prism, it splits the white light in to 7 colors. These are Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green Yellow Orange and Red. They appear in the same order , just like in the rainbow. • Observe the light ray carefully insid
