Optics - Activities & Virtual Labs

April 13, MONDAY

ACTIVITY #1:  PHET Mixing Color & Light
Purpose:  To investigate the color light seen when two or three beams of color light are mixed in different ratios.

Instructions
> Read the instructions in the document. 
> Watch the video of the simulation.
> Record the data.
> Answer the questions

If you cannot print the document, neatly create a data table on a sheet of paper (like the one in the document). Neatly fill in the table with the answers. Print your answers to the questions.


Take a photograph of the table & questions and submit on Google Classroom. You can also download the editable version to type in the DIRECTLY blanks on the document.
