The Synthesis of "specular reflection"

Discover the science behind reflection, the principle that allows us to see the world, from mirrors to advanced optical technologies.

Discover refraction, the phenomenon of light bending as it passes through different materials, and how it enables everything from sight to rainbows.

Discover diffraction, the phenomenon where waves bend around obstacles. Learn how it affects everything from light to astronomical observations.

Discover how wave interference, the meeting of two or more waves, creates everything from noise-canceling tech to the colors on a soap bubble.
