Prism Dispersing Light into ROYGBIV T-Shirt

In experimenting with prisms in the 1670s, Sir Isaac Newton made the same discovery that Leonardo da Vinci did some 200 years before. But it was Sir Isaac who got the credit. He discovered the secret of colour: Sunlight passing through a prism produces a rainbow when it falls onto a surface because light from the sun, called white light, contains the colour spectrum. All of the colours, ROYGBIV, are contained in white light. Most people today who see this image think of the popular Dark Side of the Moon, by Pink Floyd, 1973, but is is actually a scientific phenomena. Support children's innate curiosity to explore foundational elements of colour, and the science and art behind it. This item make's a perfect gift for kids and teachers who are interested in STEM + STEAM, and pairs nicely with a clear plastic equilateral prism and the book Leonardo's Art Workshop: Invent, Create, and Make STEAM Projects Like a Genius, by Amy Leidtke, in which this concept about colour and science is covered.
