Description: Demonstrates through the use of simple experiments, the principles of refraction and reflection of light waves. Demonstrates refraction, the bending of light rays by putting a coin into a cup and having it appear larger; inserting a ruler into a pan of water, making it appear shorter; and the apparent disjointing of a toy when viewed through a tank of water. Using various other types of apparatuses, the principles of refractions and reflection are simply stated and shown to actually occur.
