Welcome to a world of wonders - all created by light! Our scientists have some very exciting activities for you to try...
*Play a laser harp!
*Enter the infinity mirror!
*Meet Pepper's Ghost!
Talk to our Physics students and researchers about why understanding light & its properties is so important - both for our research and our every day lives.
You'll get to see how light can be used create both music and an infinite number of images - how it can turn 2D images into 3D apparitions you can walk around (or even dance with!) - and you'll also be able to find out how it all works!
