For this part of my blender particle experiments I used a dynamic paint canvas to generate the waves. The particles "cool down" a bit while jumping around using the age input of the particle-info node

I used the new ray-length input in cycles from blender 2.64rc2 to generate a glass material that changes the color depending on the ray-length. This can be used to simulate a prism that fractures white light.

for this part of my blender particle experiments I made a cave out of a torus and used a static particle system with random sized objects.
