When people look into a mirror, they see an image of themselves behind the glass. That image results from light rays encountering the shiny surface and bouncing back, or reflecting, providing a ...

In my previous Photography Snapshot, I discussed the importance of light and how it bounces to create images. We discovered that the most primitive form of photography was the camera obscura, which ...

The film demonstrates the principles of optics, particularly how light behaves and interacts with objects. It explains that light travels in straight lines, which is evident in the formation of sharp ...

Students use mirror equations to determine the position and type. Students use mirror equations to determine the position, type, and size of mirror images for curved mirrors mathematically. Optical ...

Exploiting a novel technique called phase discontinuity, researchers have induced light rays to behave in a way that defies the centuries-old laws of reflection and refraction. The discovery has led ...

You won’t believe your eyes with this week’s experiment! It is all about light! Light can behave in different ways; it can reflect, refract, or be absorbed. In this experiment, you can teach your kids ...

GRAND RAPIDS — Every day we see and use light for numerous daily functions, but did you know you can actually bend light? Its called refraction and our experiment today is going to show you how its ...
