| :I can take this one. However, it might be better if we had a more focused presentation on magnets, but with some ancillary experts on topics that Juggalos may be interested in. [[User:Flipzagging|Flipzagging]] 17:08, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

| :This is the one I've sat an thought about presentation ideas for. Really depends on how deep one wants to go - Huygens-Fresnel and wavefronts bending will need to be around if we wanna dig down, but the basic idea I've been thinking about is "Light bends when it slows down. Different materials let light go at different speeds. It all depends on wavelengths, and thus on color. Look here - a prism and a white LED keychain." [[User:Michiexile|Michiexile]] 02:10, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

| Light never slows down, ever. Different colors refract at different angles because of their energy level. But all colors regardless of wavelength travel at the same speed - the speed of light. [[User:quasar|quasar]]
| |
| :Michiexile is correct. The velocity of light varies within substances. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snell%27s_law Snell's Law] expresses the index of refraction at the boundary of two substances as the ratio of the the velocities of light within those substances. For example light goes almost half as fast through arsenic trisulfide as it does in air, so arsenic trisulfide has an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_refractive_indices#List IOR] of 1.9. -[[User:Laszlo|Laszlo]] 18:20, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
| |
| Cool, I did not know that. I see what you're saying. The way I'm reading it, it's not the light slowing down so much as light taking a break and spending some time in an electron. [[user:quasar|quasar]]
