Demonstrates two famous paradoxes in physics: is light waves or particles and are electrons waves or particles? The discussion is set against the debate on whether truth is objective or subjective in the...
Concerned with the use of modern semi-conductor devices to produce light for fibre-optic communication systems. Using computer animations, discusses some of the more important properties of light-emitting...
Traces the development of the various theories explaining the behaviour of light. In six 10-minute segments: The Particle Model (early explanations of the source and behaviour of light from the ancient...
Investigates the properties of space-time geometry, based on Einstein’s postulate of the constancy of the speed of light in all intertial frames of reference, which is illustrated. A studio simulation with...
MIT Researchers capture the speed of light on camera. Able to take a trillion frames per second, this camera, developed by researchers at MIT, is capable of capturing light travelling from one point to the...
A CAL module in five units on optical mineralogy: Introduction; Basic concepts (the nature of light, the petrological microscope); Optical studies under plane-polarised light (shape, cleavage, refractive...
Examines the three-dimensional images produced by holograms. The programme is chiefly concerned with the possibilities of holography as a medium for display and illustration. Begins with an experiment which...
Principle of the Raman effect. Disclosing the molecule’s vibrations by light scattering with changes in the wavelength. Advantages of using a laser light source. The spectrophotometer and its use in...
A filmed lecture given by Sir Lawrence Bragg at the Royal Institution. Outlines the two contrasting theories of light (the particle theory and the wave theory) which were held in the 18th century. Describes...
