Experiments with Diffraction Grating

What is Diffraction Grating?

In response to the new Stage 3 and Stage 4 restrictions, we're offering 20 additional framed sheets of diffraction grating for community members that will be posted out free of charge.

Diffraction Grating is a clear film that reveals the spectrum of a light source transforming what you see into a kaleidoscopic rainbow. When a light source is viewed through a diffraction grating, the grating optically splits the light into different wavelengths – meaning you see the visible spectrum of wavelengths of a light through the grating.

Experiment! Take photos or video and send them to us or post to instagram with the hashtag #reflections2020geelong

Your images will become part of our exhibition projections.

What do I need to do?

Experiment, play, document then send us your photos or videos of the visible light spectrums in your environment.

What materials do I need to provide?

Your imagination!

Do I need my own camera?

Yes, use your camera or phone to take photos / videos.

Can I keep the Diffraction Grating?

Yes you can.
