Exhibit Summary
Dichroic Mirror is a Interactive Device interactive exhibit in the Optics category, designed for science centers, children’s museums, discovery centers, STEM learning centers and family entertainment centers. Built as a hands-on, mechanical & electromechanical display, it turns an abstract scientific concept into direct, interactive visitor exploration, and is engineered for durable, low-maintenance, high-traffic gallery use.
Scientific Principle
The glass sheet is coated with optical coatings with different refractive indexes. The interface between the layers with different refractive indexes produces phase reflection, selectively enhancing certain wavelengths of light and interfering with other wavelengths. By controlling the thickness and number of layers, a certain range of frequencies of light can be allowed to pass via the optical coating, while other ranges of wavelengths are reflected. Through interaction, the audience learned about the principles of reflection, refraction and color mixing of light as well as the role of dichroic mirrors.
Operation
This exhibition item is mainly composed of motor, slider assembly, dichroic mirror, light source and button. There are two rotatable dichroic mirrors installed in the center of the circular image display area of the display; the two dichroic mirrors allow different wavelength bands of light to be transmitted; the motor and slider assembly can drive the two lenses to open and close, and a spotlight is installed under the lens. There are automatic and manual buttons on the table. The audience presses the buttons respectively to start the light source. The two lenses change angles differently. The dichroic mirror projects colorful colors under the action of reflection and refraction. 1. The audience presses the automatic or manual button on the booth; 2. Watch the beautiful light bands formed by the dichroic mirror at different angles.
