- I am trying to reproduce one of Newton's experiments with POV.
- Would a simulated white light beam hitting a glass prism with the
- right angle be scattered into a rainbow spectrum ?
- Are POV and other ray-tracers optically accurate in that respect ?
- Has anybody tested the properties of 'raytraced' light other than
- reflection and refraction ?
-
- Any comment appreciated !
