Prism Light Dispersion Diagram - Physics of Refraction and Rainbows #196984 (License: Personal Use)

This hand-drawn diagram depicts a classic optics experiment where a beam of white light enters a triangular glass prism, refracts upon entry, reflects internally, and disperses into a visible spectrum of colors (red to violet) upon exiting. The illustration emphasizes the principle of chromatic dispersion, where different wavelengths bend at varying angles due to differing refractive indices. It’s commonly used in educational contexts to explain Newton’s experiments with light.

Used on educational websites, physics lesson pages, or STEM resource hubs to illustrate light behavior, refraction, and the electromagnetic spectrum; matches user intent for learning basic optics or preparing classroom materials.
