Can sunlight turn into a rainbow through a Mitsubishi mirror?
2021-09-15
Mitsubishi mirrors can refract sunlight and turn white light into rainbows: When light enters a certain substance from the air, the degree of refraction is related to the wavelength it advances in the substance (refractive index n=c/v ). The shorter the wavelength, the more it is refracted. After the white light enters the glass, the violet light has the shortest wavelength and the largest refraction angle, so the violet light is located at the lower end of the spectrum; the red light has the largest wavelength and the smallest refraction angle, so the red light is located at the upper end of the spectrum. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet light are arranged in order between red light and violet light according to the length of the wavelength. This is how a prism splits white light into a spectrum of seven colors (dispersion). In the visible light range, frequency: red light is the smallest, violet light is the largest; wavelength: red light is the largest, and violet light is the smallest.
