The Discovery Center Museum is offering an engaging experiment to help children understand the science of light refraction and color mixing using simple materials such as a box, water bottles ...

Understanding diffraction and dispersion is key to optical science, influencing technologies like spectroscopy, fiber optics, ...

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 ...

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Without light, we can't have sight. We see objects because of how light interacts with those objects, our eyes pick up that light, and our brains interpret it. This seems rather ...

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 other ...

This film demonstrates the measurement of the speed of light in both air and water using experimental setups. The first experiment involves measuring the time it takes for light to travel a known ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

Since the early 20th century physicists have known that light carries momentum, but the way that this momentum changes as light passes through different media is much less clear. Two rival theories of ...
