IV) Trying another approach:
You should have just come up with one method for finding out which media the variables above correspond to. Now come up with a different approach. (There are at least two approaches to solving this problem, and your job is to figure out what the other is.)
You don't actually have to collect all of the data again, but do give a description of what how you would go about figuring this out.
V) Prism Break (EXTRA CREDIT)
Now switch to the tab on the top of the PhET sim titled "Prism Break." For this:
Try playing around with the various sorts of prisms and answer the following (a couple of sentences per answer is sufficient):
1) Are the reflection and refraction of light color-dependent? How can you tell?
2) Which shapes split the white light into different colors the best? Is there a particular set-up that you found demonstrates this well?
3) Given that white light can be split, try to make a situation where light forms a rainbow. Can you make a double rainbow in any way?
