Light Refraction and Color
Learning Time: 4-12 hours
Content: Light refraction and color is a subject that examines the bending of light due to speed changes in different media and the formation of colors. This subject covers the law of refraction (Snell’s Law), the refractive index, dispersion (prism effect), and color theory. TYT focuses on refraction and basic colors, while AYT focuses on optical instruments and wavelength analysis. The current 2025 curriculum also covers fiber optics and color technologies. Learning this topic forms the basis for optical systems.
