Description
Light Show looks at the properties of light. Day and Night shows, through time lapse and animation from space, the difference between day and night and why we have day and night. Cinema Trip looks at light sources and how light can travel through some materials, but not others. Inside an Eye goes into the lab to observe an animal's eye being taken apart, to find out how it works. Trick of the Light looks back at how the Victorians used mirrors and lenses to set up a camera obscura, a giant camera. Seeing the Light goes into the lab to explain reflection and how light travels in a straight line, using mirrors, torches and lasers.
