About This Product
Newton's colour disc is a well-known demonstration that white light is made up of all the spectral colours. When the disc is turned at sufficient speed, the eye can no longer separate the sectors, and additive mixing makes the colours appear as a single white. Turning the handle drives the wheel that touches the friction pulley at the back of the disc, and the whole assembly stands on a stable base.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the disc look white when it spins?
White light is made of all the spectral colours. At sufficient speed the coloured sectors merge by additive mixing, so the disc appears as a single white colour.
