Investigating Light & Optics

Lab Investigation

Explore how light & color impact our perceptions of objects.

Your students will perform a variety of activities as they investigate light and its properties. They'll learn how light travels as well as how it is reflected and refracted. The class will also investigate light's application with optical instruments such as lenses, mirrors and prisms. In the process, they'll explore image formation by reflection; light color spectrum formation and dispersion; and white, polarized and laser light and their uses in industry and medicine.

Accommodates class size of 40 students.
