Why is the Sun yellow?
This workshop was first held at Parque Cultural Valparaiso. First participants used bubbles, water and mirrors to disperse white light into a rainbow.
Then they used coloured light sources to mix colours and create white light.
Finally, they observed light dispersion in water with milk to understand Rayleigh scattering in the sky.
After the experiments participants could colour a colouring sheet about Rayleigh scattering.
