EveryDay Science: Light and Color — Part 4
Hailey and Finley show us an art project they made using clear nail polish on black paper. Even though the nail polish is clear, they get rainbows! This thin film effect can also be seen in nature, for instance with how certain birds make colors.
In the Labs @ CSU
The Little Shop of Physics set up in the CSU teaching labs to work with K-12 and college students.
EveryDay Science: Light and Color — Part 3
Brian, Hailey and Finley begin to explore the wave-ness of light with two lasers different: red and green. They experiment with how the two colors are affected by a diffraction grating. They’re able to show that red light has a longer wavelength than green light, and when you mix the two you get yellow!
EveryDay Science: Light and Color — Part 2
Brian, Hailey, and Finley continue to explore constructive and destructive interference. Now they are actually looking at light waves–from a freaking laser!
EveryDay Science: Light and Color — Part 1
Welcome to a brand new episode of EveryDay Science! Brian teams up with two young scientists, Finley and Hailey, to explore the wonderful world of light and color.
