WHAT IS OPTICS?
• You rely on optics every day. Your digital camera,
wireless mouse, and even your Blu-ray disc of your
favorite movie are all technologies enabled by the
science of optics. Optics is the science of light. More
specifically, optics is a branch of physics describing how
light behaves and interacts with matter. OK, that sounds
like something your 5th period teacher rambles on about,
- right?
• Think of it this way…The power and special properties of
light can be used to explore the universe, monitor the
environment, and even solve crimes. By utilizing their
knowledge of how light behaves under different
conditions, scientists and engineers create wicked cool
technologies that make your world better.
Do You see a face?
OR the word LIAR
This one will make you dizzy. Try focusing on
just the center circle while moving your head.
Can you count the number of black
dots??
Can you find the lowest step in this
image?
How is this possible? It just keeps
on going..
Does it look like spiral?
they are just circles..
Read the following passage:
Did you catch the two "The"s?
Most people miss this obvious
redundancy
BEHOLD!the impossible triangle
see the triangle?
it does'nt exist.The image makes it
look as if there is a triangle.
