Q. How big is the disk ?
A. Hi Mike, thank you for your question. The diameter of the disc is approximately 150mm.
This apparatus demonstrates the discovery, made by Newton, that white light is made up of seven individual colours. The apparatus consists of a pulley mounted on a metal stand. The seven-coloured disc is driven by a belt connected to a hand-driven wheel. When the disc is rotated fast, the eye is unable to distinguish between individual colours and perceives it as white.
