Rainbow Peephole®
Rainbow Peephole®
·Light from the flashlight is “redirected” in passing through the plastic peephole to the eye.
·Where do the colors come from?
·Do you see a regular pattern?
·Identify the colors. Are they the same in each spot?
·Does the pattern change if the flashlight is close or far from the peephole? How?
·Do you see colors from other people's flashlights, even those far away from you?
·Do you see colors from the room lights?
·The regular array of bumps on the plastic peephole's surface allows us to see the color in white light through “diffraction.”
