This video is answering the question of how do we see colours.

This video is a lecture on the colors of opaque objects and how light interacts with different surfaces to define the color of an object. It explains how white light is a combination of all visible colors and that surfaces with color...

The video is a lecture on filters and how they work. It discusses how white light is a combination of all visible wavelengths and how filters are materials that are transparent and only permit certain wavelengths of light to transmit...

Part II of The Scientific Revolution explores the latter half of this movement and the gradual acceptance of scientific truth. This fascinating period of history chronicles European society's emergence from church domination that...

This video is a lecture on the effects of wavelength and speed on electromagnetic waves. The speaker explains what can happen to a wave at the boundary between two media, including reflection and refraction. They also discuss how...

There are three main reasons why we don’t see all the colors in a rainbow: 1. The colors we see in a rainbow are spectral, which means they are also present in the visible spectrum. 2. Some colors, like pink and brown, are made when two...

A projector is a machine that projects an image onto a screen. LCD projectors work by shining a light through three LCD screens. When the colored light passes through these three screens, they relay three versions of the same scene....

This is the winning entry for the 2014 Flame Challenge put on by Alan Alda and the Center for Communicating Science.

This video explores five fun facts about light.

What is color? What is it that determines the color of an object? Good thing we just learned about electromagnetic radiation! Especially the visible spectrum. Let's take a look.

Take a look at a bubble and you’ll see all the colors of the rainbow... right? WRONG. Bubbles are actually missing colors!

This video introduces the world of physics by explaining how it is involved in our everyday lives through examples such as sound, heat, friction, gravity, magnetism, force, electricity, light, and atoms. It defines physics as the study...

The physics behind rainbows and surprising facts about rainbows.

Revealing the Hidden Colors of the Microcosmos

How do waves behave? Badly? In this video we are going to look at how light and sound waves behave. Before we start, you should know that waves can be transverse or longitudinal. Transmission, reflection, refraction, diffraction,...

This begins by introducing the concept of gravity and how it affects objects. It then delves into Isaac Newton's early life, including his difficult upbringing and his passion for science. The video highlights his education, his...

How rainbows create their colors, in refraction.

Upon viewing the Light video series, students will be able to do the following: List some of the reasons light is important to all living things. Understand that light is a type of energy. Describe how light behaves both as a wave and as...
