The Newton Color Disc is used to demonstrate color mixing and the composition of white light:
-
Color mixingThe disc’s colors blend together when rotated quickly, creating a visual effect that demonstrates how primary colors can be combined to create secondary colors.
-
Composition of white lightWhen spun at high speeds, the disc appears white, demonstrating that white light is made up of the different colors of the rainbow.
-
PhysicsThe disc is a practical way to experiment with white light and its colors, which can help develop an understanding of physics.The disc is usually mounted on a stand with a handle for rotating it. It’s best to use the disc in daylight rather than under fluorescent lights.
