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 ...

To investigate the reflection of light by different types of surface, and the refraction of light by different substances. Remove the block. Join the crosses to show the paths of the light rays ...

Bending light showing off refraction! Send our meteorologist Candace Monacelli your pictures doing this experiments at home! She will feature future meteorologists on my Facebook page daily!

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.

WXMI — In our science experiment today, we look at a disappearing coin trick, which really is no trick at all. It illustrates density and refraction. Some things are more dense (or heavier) than ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
