  10. Exploring the Spectrum of Visible Light What is the Visible Light Spectrum? The electromagnetic spectrum can be considered in terms of seven types of electromagnetic radiation, all corresponding to different wavelengths and frequencies: radio, microwave, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays.

Visible Light Spectrum The visible l...
  11. Diffraction Gratings: An Essential Tool in Modern Spectrometry Diffraction is the bending of a wave as it passes around a corner or through an opening. The phenomena can be best observed using the prism experiment or Young’s Double-Slit Experiment. In the prism experiment, white light is passed through a prism and viewed on a white screen as it exits the prism. On the white screen, you will observe an array of colors as each wavelength in the visible spectrum is bent to a different degree, effectively separating the white light into its constituent color...

  14. The Science of Diffraction: What is the Diffraction of Light? Light waves are known to behave in one of three ways when they reach the boundary of a medium. That is, the end of one medium and/or the beginning of another. They are either reflected, refracted, or diffracted. Diffraction is the phenomenon in which a wave changes direction as it bends around an object in its path or passes through an opening. Reflection occurs when a wave comes into contact with a surface, bounces off the surface, and is redirected back into its original medium. Refract...

It’s simple: the principles of interference and diffraction are at work, causi...
