ABC Zoom - Refraction: why glass prisms bend and separate light

Zoom inside a glass prism and see why glass makes light bend, and how the glass molecules make different colours of light bend different amounts.

Key concepts: refraction, wavelength, frequency, electrons,

ABC Zoom is a science-based game set in deep space.

The space ship Polaris has come under attack. The ship and her captain have sustained damage that can only be repaired at the molecular or cellular level.

Your mission: Use the futuristic tool you'll find on the ship to zoom down to the microscopic and atomic levels, reviving the captain and her ship.
