I had read that LEDs change color when submerged in liquid nitrogen. I had some leftover from a PTSOS workshop and took video of the first time I tried it. Would you have guessed it would turn yellow? Why? #ITeachphysics

I've been looking for a simulation like this for a while!

Place lenses, mirrors, light sources, diffraction gratings... you name it! It's the only optics table where ALL the images are virtual. ⚛️🎢🧪
