  2. Newton disc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_disc

    Colour distribution of a Newton disk. The Newton disk, also known as the disappearing color disk, is a well-known physics experiment with a rotating disk with segments in different colors (usually Newton's primary colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, commonly known by the abbreviation ROYGBIV) appearing as white (or off-white or grey) when it's spun rapidly about its axis.

  3. Foucault's measurements of the speed of light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foucault's_measurements_of...

    Light from a passing through a slit (not shown) is reflected by mirror m (rotating clockwise around c) towards the concave spherical mirrors M and M'. Lens L forms images of the slit on the surfaces of the two concave mirrors. The light path from m to M is entirely through air, while the light path from m to M' is mostly through a water-filled ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young's_interference...

    Unlike the modern double-slit experiment, Young's experiment reflects sunlight (using a steering mirror) through a small hole, and splits the thin beam in half using a paper card. [6] [10] [11] He also mentions the possibility of passing light through two slits in his description of the experiment: Modern illustration of the double-slit experiment

    In 2017, researchers performed the double-slit experiment using light-induced field electron emitters. With this technique, emission sites can be optically selected on a scale of ten nanometers. By selectively deactivating (closing) one of the two emissions (slits), researchers were able to show that the interference pattern disappeared. [68]

  6. Fizeau's measurement of the speed of light in air - Wikipedia

    In 1848–49, Hippolyte Fizeau determined the speed of light using an intense light source at the bell tower of his father's holiday home in Suresnes, and a mirror 8,633 meters away on Montmartre. [2] The light source was interrupted by a rotating cogwheel with 720 notches that could be rotated at a variable speed several times a second.

  7. Triboluminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triboluminescence

    It is the emission of light from the fracture (rather than rubbing) of a crystal, but fracturing often occurs with rubbing. Depending upon the atomic and molecular composition of the crystal, when the crystal fractures, a charge separation can occur, making one side of the fractured crystal positively charged and the other side negatively charged.
