reflection (optics)

"One day, down by the pond, Simon meets another dog just like him. And that dog has a bone just like his, only better! How will Simon ever get him to trade, when the other pup knows all the same tricks . . .?"--Provided by publisher.

"Light is all around us and comes in many different forms. Some things give off their own light, while other things can only be seen if light shines on them. This title includes science and reading activities and a word list"--.

"A book for young readers about the concept of light and its spectrum, and how it's a part of our everyday lives"--Provided by publisher.

Mythbusters Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman conduct experiments to determine if there is any truth or scientific basis to various myths related to reflected energy, investigating the legend that claims the Greeks built a "death ray" to set fire to invading Roman ships two thousand years ago.

Features a series of science experiments illustrating light reflection. Includes experiments in illusions, fiber optics, mirrors, and more.

By doing the simple science projects, young scientists will discover how distance affects images made by a convex lens, observe a wave model of polarized light, and explore the science behind mirages.

"This book looks at what reflections are and how we can use them. Mirrors reflect light back at exactly the same angle. You can make a 'mirror book' to explore symmetry and multiple reflections. Why does a straight straw look bent in a glass of water? Experiment using air, oil, and water to see how different materials affect the speed of light. Look at how our eyes use reflected light to see and make a pinhole camera to show how the eye works."--Provided by publisher.

Explores the basics of light from where it comes from and how it produces shadows to what happens when light meets a reflective surface. Includes light science experiments, a quiz, a glossary, resources for further information, and color photographs.

This volume captures all the excitement of rainbow sightings after rainy days.
