Light Action! Amazing Experiments with Optics Book

Bend light around corners, stop time with a pair of sunglasses, pour light into the palm of your hand, or even make your small TV project a large-screen image. This book of experiments uses simple household items to explain and demonstrate some of the secrets behind the science of optics, including blocking, bending, and bouncing light, guiding it, breaking it up, caching it and making waves. Then, of course, we also have color and polarization. The experiments are clearly-written and well-illustrated, and could serve well as demonstrations for teachers or even as a sort of hands-on self-study guide. This book is written for those 11 years and up, so everyone around you below that age will probably think you are magical. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
