Informational site provides illustrated tutorial of light reflection. Also discusses the law of reflection.

Students can see light reflected and refracted in this demonstration. They will also discover the total internal reflection of light.

Through illustrated practice problems and video clips, students learn about polarization of light.

In this physics classroom, students learn how and why light of certain frequencies can be selectively absorbed, reflected or transmitted.

"How Do We Know Light Behaves as a Wave?" An answer is provided in this discussion of the polarization of light and the use of Polaroid filters in sunglasses. The four methods discussed on this page are: polarization by transmission,...

The operation of Polaroid filters on a pair of sunglasses is shown.

Investigate the constructive and destructive interference of waves as they reflect off the front and back surfaces of soap film. See what colorful effects can be created on a large, vertical soap film surface where gravity comes into play.

Demonstrate for students how a round bowl of water can act as both a magnifier and a lens.
