1. Investigation: Can separate the colours of the rainbow? Jared And Connors science report on light

2. AIM:  To explore if when the refraction of light changes the colour of the light depending on how it passes through a semi-transparent object.

3. HYPOTHESIS:  By bending the light we will be able to make a rainbow and be able to refract the colours in the rainbows light.

4. MATERIALS:  Light Box  All semi-transparent prisms  Mirror

5. METHOD:  Turn light box on.  Shine beam of light through eye-shaped semi-transparent prism  Shine light coming from eye-shaped semi-transparent prism through triangle-shaped semi-transparent prism  Use mirror to refract the rainbow’s colours

6. OBSERVATIONS:  Observations:  The rainbows light could be refracted by a mirror so our experiment was a success.

7. DIAGRAM:

8. DISCUSSION:  When the radiation hits dense semi-transparent prism it slows the radiation. Different wave lengths travel at different rates through the semi-transparent prism. Then they are refracted to separate rays that look red to the ones that look green to the ones that look violet. The different wave lengths represent different colours at end of refraction represented as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. The different rays can then go in different ways.

9. CONCLUSION:  When we conducted this experiment our hypotheses was confirmed because what we predicted exactly happened. We found out that you can split a rainbows colours without re- creating a new rainbow. To follow up next time we might try to see if we can refract it upwards instead of on the table.
