Newton prism (3D)
About this app
White light splits into its colors in the glass prism — true ray tracing with Snell's refraction and a wavelength-dependent refractive index (dispersion). Material (glass/water/diamond) and angle of incidence adjustable; a second prism recombines the colors back into white.
