Author Robert Gardner uses experiments with light and mirrors to help lead young scientists to new discoveries, principles, and surprises. These experiments and discussions use light and shadow, and flat and curved mirrors to examine various laws of reflection, speed, and distance. Lasers, optic fibers, and medical technology are also discussed.

By doing the simple science projects in this book, young scientists will discover how distance affects images made by a convex lens, observe a wave model of polarized light, and explore the science behind mirages. The experiments use materials found at home or at school. Readers can take what they have learned from these experiments and use suggestions to create their own unique science fair projects. An explanation of the scientific method, safety tips, scientific illustrations, an appendix with science supply companies, a glossary, further reading with books and websites, and an index complete this title.

Based on a series of experiments performed by students in the UK over a period of several years. Ideal for undergraduate study in the area of physics.

Kids will learn all about light and sound through these fun and easy-to-follow experiments.

Ever wonder about the science behind a rainbow? Now you can solve the mystery by building a light box of your own! Using tools and supplies you can easily find, conduct experiments and test hypotheses on reflection, refraction, shadows, color and more.

With these easy-to-follow experiments, budding scientists will explore the properties of light, including refraction, reflection, and how light travels. Readily accessible materials make this a go-to resource for young readers who want to learn more about light.

Starting with Galileo's experiments with motion, this study of 25 crucial discoveries includes Newton's laws of motion, Chadwick's study of the neutron, Hertz on electromagnetic waves, and more.
