‘Light Dark’ explores the fascinating world of optics, focusing on light, shadows, and the cycle of day and night. This book unveils the nature of light as electromagnetic radiation, demonstrating its wave-particle duality and how it interacts with matter to enable sight. Did you know that understanding light’s behavior is not only essential for grasping everyday phenomena but also underpins technologies like lasers and solar panels?
The book progresses from the fundamental properties of light to its more tangible effects, such as shadow formation, explaining the concepts of umbra and penumbra through real-world examples like solar and lunar eclipses. It then delves into the reasons behind day and night, revealing how Earth’s rotation and the angle of sunlight create variations in daylight hours.
The book uses clear language and detailed diagrams to demystify complex topics in physics and astronomy, making it an accessible resource for anyone curious about the science that shapes our world.
