What Can Frogs See That We Can't?

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This What Can Frogs See That We Can't? instructional video also includes:
  • The Original Double Slit Experiment
  • Clarifications on Frogs and Single Photons
  • Join to access all included materials

Many assume light intensity decreases proportionally to your distance from the sun. An interesting video discusses why this isn't true and what actually happens. It shares the flashes of light people would observe and then compares what we might see if we had the benefit of frog vision.
