Study - Light
Our best links about studying light. Covering seeing with light, colour, spectrums, speed of light, reflection, refraction and lenses.
1. How do we see things?
A short animated clip explaining how we use light to see, suitable for children under 10.
4. The Physics of Light and Color
An in depth guide to light, optics and colour, covering wave particle duality, reflection, refraction, waves, diffraction, polarisation, birefringence, colour temperature, human perception and more.
7. Reflection and refraction of light
A good explanation of reflection and refraction using ray diagrams.
8. Reflection of Light
Explains law of reflection including interactive Java tutorials. Links to ideas of fluorescence, diffraction, polarization, scattering and virtual microscopy.
9. Optics for Kids
With a series of questions and answers the site takes the user from basic light principles to lenses in glasses and telescopes, and lasers. There are useful links and an optics glossary.
10. Mirrors, Lenses and Your Eyes
How the concave or convex lenses in your glasses correct near or far sightedness.
