Bill Nye explores the properties of light and presents a variety of examples to illustrate how light behaves. The science guy features experiments demonstrating reflection, refraction, light absorption, and how light waves bounce from one place to another. Also examines how light travels, bends, and changes direction, and defines infrared light. Features a segment on fiber optics and how this technology is used in medicine. Also shows how lenses, mirrors, and water can be used to create optical illusions with light.
Bill Nye the Science Guy answers questions about light optics, and conducts two experiments that show how reflected light and mirrors can be used to view objects not in the direct line of sight, and how to see refracted light through water.
