We discuss some simple experiments dealing with intriguing properties of light and its interaction with matter. In particular, we show how to emphasize that light reflection, refraction and scattering can provide a proper, physical description of human perception of the 'colour' white. These experiments can be used in the classroom with an enquiry approach, and it is in this spirit that we will present them.

Abstract
We discuss some simple experiments dealing with intriguing properties of light and its interaction with matter. In particular, we show how to emphasize that light reflection, refraction and scattering can provide a proper, physical description of human perception of the 'colour' white. These experiments can be used in the classroom with an enquiry approach, and it is in this spirit that we will present them.File in questo prodotto:
