Shedding light on light. Shedding light on reflection

Description

In this program, teacher Spiro Liacos uses fantastic animations and amazing visuals to delve into every aspect of reflection, mirrors, and the virtual-3D mirror world that mirrors create. What is reflection? How do mirrors reflect light differently to everything else and how do they form images? In what way are mirror images different to two-dimensional photos? How does our ability to see in 3D affect the way we see images in mirrors? Can animals see things in mirrors? And how do periscopes work? These questions, and many more, are answered in this program, which includes host Spiro presenting a range of optical illusions and magic tricks which all incorporate mirrors. You'll never look into a mirror in the same way again.
