An introductory course on many aspects of light. The course will include discussion and classroom demonstrations of important aspects of light, shadows, reflection, light in nature (rainbows, mirages, etc.), lenses, image formation, reading glasses, photography (film, digital, f-numbers, etc.), the eye, perception, polarizing materials, where color comes from, color in nature, color mixing (lights and pigments), lasers, among other things.

This is a laboratory course designed to correspond to the lectures in PHYSICS 151. The laboratory experiments performed by students will cover kinematics, dynamics and other aspects of mechanics pertinent to the material covered in PHYSICS 151. This course may be taken simultaneously with PHYSICS 151.
