optics, Science concerned with the production and propagation of light, the changes it undergoes and produces, and closely related phenomena. Physical optics deals with the nature and properties of light; geometric optics deals with the formation of images by mirrors, lenses, and other devices that use light. Optical data processing involves manipulation of the information content of an image formed by coherent (one-wavelength) optical systems. The study of optics has led to the development of devices such as eyeglasses and contact lenses, telescopes, microscopes, cameras, binoculars, lasers, and optical fibres (see fibre optics).

Explore the fascinating world of optics! Optics manipulate and move light in order to have the light perform a certain task. In this workshop, you will use optics to build a hologram and a cellphone microscope. You will also create a polarized “stain glass” piece of art. Through these activities, you will discover that optics are everywhere, that they are an essential part to our everyday lives, and that they are vital components to emerging technologies, such as autonomous vehicles and augmented reality.
