Looking for some ideas, activities, and demonstrations you can use at outreach events? This workshop will present several demonstrations and activities that are easy to deploy and of high interest to students. In addition, each activity will include a discussion of how to best explain basic light, optics, and wave concepts to various audiences. Some of the activities will include: Using diffraction gratings to compare and contrast the spectra seen various light sources; using a simple hand lens to image objects and compare the types of images produced; how lasers are used and are different from other sources of light such as an incandescent light bulb. In addition to free magnifiers, diffraction glasses, and a color-changing LED light bulb, optics and photonics posters and outreach DVDs will be available for attendees, demonstrating how light-based technology is used by everyone, every day.
