Abstract
This paper examines the effect of artistic color moire generated with color stripes and monochrome fringes in science education. The color moire fringes are sure to be useful for introductory science education because the color moire fringes are easy to generate and they are magical and attractive for inexperienced young people and furthermore the moire fringes can visually express the phenomenon of wave interference. The generation of the color moire fringes is mathematicallyy expressed to show that each color moire fringe is independently positioned in moire space. This paper also shows the way to generate the original color and monochrome stripes on a personal computer with a software uploaded on our Web page and it examines the influence of the fineness of the stripes printed on a sheet of OHP films or papers on the resulting color moire fringes. Finally, it introduces a color moire viewer to observe fantastic color moire through a rectangular window on the viewer.
