Rainbow Formation
A rainbow is a natural phenomenon where the dispersion of light is most visible. As you know, We can see a rainbow after it rains because the water droplets bend and disperse the light. For example, if we spray water … more

Rainbow Colors
Color and Eye Recognition Visible light has various colors. Light has a different color depending on the wavelength (or frequency). So, how do people perceive color? Cone cells in the eye’s retina recognize color. There are three kinds of cone … more
Spectrum of Hydrogen Atom
Spectrum of hydrogen At the time of Rutherford’s experiments, chemists analyzed chemical components using spectroscopy, and physicists tried to find what kind of order in complex spectral lines. For example, a hydrogen arc tube containing hydrogen, a light element, shows … more
Total Internal Reflection and Optical Fiber
Total reflection and critical angle When light enters from a medium with a large refractive index to a medium with a small refractive index, the incident light does not pass through the boundary surface but is reflected at all. When … more
Absorption and Emission of Light
The energy level of the atom Atoms are made up of an atomic nucleus and electrons that revolve around the nucleus. In Bohr’s atomic model, electrons can change their position by receiving energy (mainly light energy). But what’s unique is … more
Quantum of Light
This simulation assumed that a candle emits all its energy in only one specific wavelength. The power of the candle is assumed to be 50W. The emitted wave diagram is for understanding only and does not represent the actual wavelength … more
Why we can’t see atoms under an optical microscope?
Why we can’t see atoms under an optical microscope? The process by which we see objects is based on light. Therefore, the resolution of object recognition depends on the light. Just as a tool must be precise to open a … more
