Introduction

Summary

An illustration of light dispersion (separation of light into component colors) through a prism. One of the most important properties  of L.A.S.E.R light is illustrated here: It is  monochromatic light (it has a very narrow frequency spectrum).

Goals

• To illustrate the separation of light through a prism.
• To explain the selectivity of a L.A.S.E.R in terms of wavelength.
