Does light consist of anything else than the colours we can observe with our naked eye? And if so, are there any applications for different forms of light? If you are curious about these questions, have look at this chapter of our mini lecture. This is part two of a five-part Mini Lecture series on “Light and Optics”.

How can one describe light? Is light made up of particles or should one rather describe light as wave? How does one best explain the various phenomena in connection with light? The answers to these questions are given in part three of our five-part Mini Lecture series on “Light and Optics”.

Optical systems such as telescopes or microscopes can be complex. Others like a magnifying glass are rather simple. However, all of these optical devices rely on lenses. Learn more about how lenses work where they are used in part four of a five-part Mini Lecture series on “Light and Optics”.

Tools made of light sound like science fiction. However, tools made of light have a high impact in our everyday live. Learn more about this impact in part five of a five-part Mini Lecture series on “Light and Optics”.
