The Light

Beam of light

---

Beams of light coming from a light source can be divergent, convergent or parallel. Find examples of parallel rays in addition to the sun's rays.

Molecules and light

---

Turn on the light source to explore. Watch what happens in the observation window as you set up different combinations of light source and molecule. This simulation has a zoom function, so you can enlarge sections of the simulation for a closer look, if necessary.

Color vision

---

Create a rainbow by combining red, green and blue light. Change the wavelength of a monochromatic beam or white light filter. See light as a solid beam, or as individual photons.
