Investigation of the Dispersion of Light in Prisms via "RayLab"
Coramik, Mustafa; Özdemir, Erdogan
Physics Education, v56 n6 Article 065022 Nov 2021
In this study, it is aimed to develop practical teaching activities that can be used in optics teaching. For this purpose, a virtual laboratory environment was created in RayLab which is an application for design and simulation of optics on the iPad/iPhone. In this context, the dispersion of white light in the prism, the relationship between the refractive index and the wavelength of the light and the recombination of the dispersed white light were examined. It was seen that the virtual experiment results obtained in the activities are compatible with the theoretical results and the real experimental situations.
