Swarovski Crystal Principles - Light, Color and Crystal

Northern Lights

Aurora Borealis (A.B.) effect of Swarovski Crystals was named after these Northern Lights

Optics

Optics is a branch of physics dealing with the properties and interactions of electromagnetic radiation with matter, especially that of light.

The Physics of Spectral Colours

Pointiage comes from Pointilism

Prism

A prism is an optical body consisting of a material such as glass which is transparent and refracts light.

The Colour Spectrum of Light

A spectrum indicates the intensity dispersion of electromagnetic rays as a function of wavelength or frequency.

Diffraction

Diffraction is the deviation from dispersion in straight lines of water, sound, electromagnetic and matter waves appearing near sharp edges.

Photonic Crystals Conduct Light

They conduct light in almost exactly the same way as cables conduct electrical current, as announced on 11.10.2000.

Light: Particle or Wave?

Whether light, which had been examined by the physicist Newton and many of his colleagues, is made up of particles or has a wave-like character constantly led to many intense discussions in scientific circles from the end of the 17th century.
