Light is all over in our world. It carries information
from the world to our eyes and brains. Seeing colors
and shapes is second nature to us, yet light is a perplexing
phenomenon when we learn it more closely. Here are some
things to think about: Our brains and eyes act as one
to make extraordinary things happen in perception. Movies
are sequences of still pictures. Magazine pictures are
arrays of dots. Light acts similar to particles-little
light bullets-that stream from the basis. This explains
how shadows work. Light also acts similar to waves-ripples
in space-instead of bullets. This explains how rainbows
effort. In fact, light are both. This "wave-particle
duality" is one of the most confusing-and amazing-principles
of physics. Scientists have spent lifetimes rising consistent
physical, biological, chemical, and mathematical explanations
for these principles. But we can start on the road to
deeper understanding without all the equations by performing
as scientists do: making observations, performing arts
experiments, and testing our conjectures against what
we see. Our lighting manufacturers provide high quality
outdoor architectural and decorative flood lighting,
decorative lamps, die-cast fixtures, concrete poles,
ornamental luminaries, cast iron poles, aluminum alloy
poles, arms, brackets and more. Factory finishing includes
milled, powder coat, anodized, polyurethane to name
a few. Below are selected samples from a large assortment
of lighting styles, sizes and applications. The activities
in this lab are intended to give you ideas about light-and
also about how you can use technology to travel around
light. Collectively, the activities are a sampler-rather
than complete demonstration-of these two topics: Light
in Color. Color is more than beautification, and perceiving
color is tricky. Three activities help you see how colors
work together and how we can use color as a scientific
tool. Laws of Light. Light behaves according to particular
rules; for example, it usually travels in a straight
line and it bounces off mirrors at the similar angle
it hits them. In this lab, you will work with simulations
to see belongings more quickly and conveniently. This
has merit, but it's no replacement for the real thing.
So, wherever possible, chase the links to hands-on activities.
You will find many of these explanations in their new
form at the Exploratorium.
