==== My name is Aaron and my favorite subjects are science, p.e and math. My favorite topics in science is learning about things like the atmosphere, what will happen to the sun over a long time, what will happen to the polar ice caps and learn about pretty much anything that involves anything science. I like to learn new things that I have never done which shall be a lot of the things. My interest is actually may be getting in the secme club. ====

 RESEARCH PAPER

Color is something that is not as simple as color something on a sheet paper when it comes to colored light. In this research paper, we will see how color is created with many components with the help of white light

Diffraction- When light is going to something for example a CD you will see that there is a spectrum of different colors. If you put different shapes of prisms in front of a light source it will go into pieces and diffract on other spots in the room that you were just in. If you did it on a something that is mirrored it will go into a spectrum of colors.

It will do that through very small openings that are called slits through the objects the waves go through. Once a light source goes through these slits, it will break into small pieces all around the room you are in. This can depend on the amount of slits there are on the object that will be an effect on the wave length. This can also cause different colors coming out which will turn into a spectrum of colors.

Wave length- For my project this will depend on how high the frequencies are since these frequencies will be the cause for if the wavelength is going to be high or its either going to be low. A dispersion relation is when a light passes through a prism and this causes a separation once the light goes through the prism and also causes a spectrum. In light waves the strength of the light wave will vary in electric strength and also in the magnetic field.

Wave speed- Is when there is a change in the medium of a wave.

Electromagnetic spectrum- Is the range of all of the possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. The electromagnetic spectrum uses high frequencies to communicate from radios and the low frequencies are used for gamma radiation. A wave length always is infinite and can be the size of our gigantic universe. A spectrum that comes from the electromagnetic spectrum can look like a rainbow needs the amount of electricity for it to happen. The amount of electricity is going to be important since the amount of electricity is one of the causes of a spectrum in the electromagnetic spectrum. For example a rainbow uses the electromagnetic spectrum and if you look closely you can see that there is a little bit of ultraviolet rays that are beyond the edge of the rainbow and that on the violet part of it you can also see ultraviolet rays.

Visible spectrum- The visible spectrum is a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the naked eye. The visible spectrum happens when you put a light in front of glass prism you are able to see many colors that is well the visible spectrum. There are many different colors that are seen with this spectrum like violet, red, orange, green, blue, indigo, and yellow. There is also a frequencies that are needed for you to see the specific colors depends if you want to see the color violet you will need to put on the highest frequencies since the color is just under the naked eye’s frequencies.

Refraction-It is when a wave changes direction through a change of speed. Refraction of light is the refraction that you usually see during the day. This happens when light an obstacle is right in front of the light and as you look closely you are able to see the curves. A refraction can happen anywhere that is clear like window there is that curve. You can sometimes see a change in appearance of an object through water and it looks like as if it is in a curved dimensions or something.

Color is basically a beam of light where it is like any ordinary light that you see like the sun or from a light bulb but it is basically white light that has been divided into many of the other colors that we see today. To see these other colors, you can experiment with a prism and shining a white light through where you will see many colors like blue, red and yellow.

**Conclusion **

 In conclusion, when we see light that is shining from the sun or when you turn on a light bulb, those are basically a bunch of colored light all bunched into one light that creates a white light that we see today.

=HYPOTHESIS=

 My hypothesis is if a spectrum is affected by the shape of different prisms.

The Independent Variable
The different shape of the prisms The type of light bulb The brightness of the room

The Dependent Variable
The dependent variable is the different colors that come out of the spectrum.

5 Controlled Variable
Type of light bulb The room that is done for the experiment Shape of prism The amount of experiments The material of the glass
