DISPERSION BY PRISM - SIMULATION
The Prism Dispersion Simulation demonstrates the phenomenon of light dispersion through a triangular glass prism. Dispersion occurs when white light passes through the prism and splits into its constituent colors, creating a spectrum. This behavior arises because different wavelengths of light refract at different angles due to the variation in their speeds through the prism.
In this simulation, you can adjust the angle of incidence, refractive index, and prism geometry to observe their effects on the dispersion and the resulting spectrum of colors.
