You won’t believe your eyes with this week’s experiment! It is all about light! Light can behave in different ways; it can reflect, refract, or be absorbed. In this experiment, you can teach your kids ...

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Without light, we can't have sight. We see objects because of how light interacts with those objects, our eyes pick up that light, and our brains interpret it. This seems rather ...

Quantum physics is the realm of the strange. And one of the strangest discoveries in the field is also one of the most fundamental: Particles fired at barriers with two slits in them can act like ...

The film explores the properties of light, including reflection and refraction, through various experiments. It demonstrates how light travels in straight lines, how mirrors can reflect images, and ...
