Discovering Light: Fun Experiments with Optics

Translated from the 2018 Spanish original the series of experiments can help general readers and teachers and students at the secondary level appreciate and understand optics, learn about the nature and behavior of light, and play with light. All of them are preceded by an explanation of the concepts and accompanied by numerous illustrations. The underlying assumption is that people learn better when they are having fun. The experiments are in chapters on what light is, light sources and detectors, optical instruments, the human eye: a biological camera, light in nature, and light-based technologies.
