Optics: Light at Work - Part 1

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Any work with light, lenses, lasers, or mirrors is called optical engineering. Optical engineers bend and bounce light to make it useful for humans. Examples are telescopes, invisibility, nanomedicine, and solar energy. This comprehensive video would be valuable to show when teaching about light and the electromagnetic spectrum or when leading a career exploration class with middle schoolers. This is one of a two-part series.
