Controlling light at dimensions thousands of times smaller than the thickness of a human hair is one of the pillars of modern ...

Explore the multifaceted concept of the prism, illustrating how it reflects the interplay between perception, light, and ...

In this video, I show you how to create your own rainbow using just a glass of water, a flashlight, and a piece of white paper. It’s an easy and fun science activity you can try at home! By exploring ...

I test a series of light experiments to explore reflection, refraction, and optical illusions, demonstrating how light behaves in surprising and educational ways.

A viral video from Jamtland, Sweden, captures a breathtaking 22-degree Sun halo with vivid sun dogs and rainbow arcs.

Abstract: Owing to the effects of atmospheric refraction, the path of light propagation is bent, making the three-point collinear principle inapplicable and influencing the geometric accuracy of ...
