Hand Held Color Wheel

Reveal the Nature of Color and Light

• When you spin this classic color wheel, all the colors of the rainbow are blended together
• Challenge students to decipher why colors that are separate when the wheel is still appear to mix when the wheel is in motion

This simple demonstration reveals how light interacts with matter by transmission, absorption, or scattering; and it explains that to see an object, light emitted by or scattered from that object must enter the eye. Size: 9" dia.
