Chromatic Dispersion - Free Online | FunToolX

Use Chromatic Dispersion online for free, no download required. FunToolX offers hundreds of fun online tools.

A beam of white light enters a prism and disperses — each wavelength bends differently — fanning out into a rainbow spectrum on the far side. The incidence angle sways gently over time.

About this tool

Chromatic Dispersion is a free online visual effect. A beam of white light enters a prism and disperses — each wavelength bends differently — fanning out into a rainbow spectrum. Interactive eye-candy rendered live on your screen. It runs entirely in your browser — no download or sign-up needed.

After opening the page, it will display the effect of white light passing through the prism and decomposing into a rainbow color spectrum, simulating the real dispersion phenomenon. Parameters such as prism angle, dispersion intensity, and light source position can be adjusted.

The entire process is purely front-end animation, based on WebGL-based shader programs, using a model of refractive index varying with wavelength to simulate dispersion.

It is suitable for use as a physics teaching demonstration, optical subject popularization, or purely appreciating the optical beauty of dispersion. The realization principle is a wavelength-dependent model of refractive index.

Dispersion is a visual effect that simulates the dispersion effect of light passing through a prism. It is rendered in real time based on a WebGL shader.
