Section 1: Using the Bending Light PhET sim, switch to the tab on the top of the PhET sim titled “Prism Break.” Then answer the following questions:
1) Are the reflection and refraction of light color-dependent? How can you tell?
2) Which shapes split the white light into different colors the best? Is there a particular set-up that you found demonstrates this well?
3) Given that white light can be split, try to make a situation where light forms a rainbow. What shape did you use to do this? Can you make a double rainbow in any way?
