Explores the principles of light, reflection, and magnification through hands-on experiments. Children observe how a magnifying glass focuses sunlight to create heat, examine the effects of light ...

Aim of the experiment To investigate the reflection of light by different types of surface, and the refraction of light by different substances.

In this extract from the new book Beautiful Experiments: An Illustrated History of Experimental Science, science writer Philip Ball explains how Isaac Newton transformed our understanding of light.

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 ...

Now, carefully arranged arrays of atoms have brought these possibilities a step closer, achieving negative refraction without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials.

In our science experiment today, we look at a disappearing coin trick, which really is no trick at all. It illustrates density and refraction.

This article was originally published with the title “Experiment on the Refraction and Dispersion of Light” in SA Supplements Vol. 29 No. 754supp (June 1890), p. 12050 doi:10.1038 ...

Recent experiments that demonstrate the negative refraction of light could bring a heated scientific debate to a close, and give negative-index materials a positive future Figure 1: Negative-index ...

In my previous Photography Snapshot, I discussed the importance of light and how it bounces to create images. In this Snapshot we will discuss the difference between reflection and refraction, how ...

Everything CCEA students need to know about the reflection and refraction of light for GCSE Physics.
