This activity has been designed to have students explore light emitting diodes (LED) and the importance of index of refraction in improving LED efficiency. This activity investigates the tune-ability of a polymer’s index of refraction by using a macromodel LED. This activity will be a macromodel because the size of nanoparticles is smaller than the smallest wavelength of visible light.
