Show video, "Light & Optics" by Bill Nye. More than adequate coverage 
of/preparation for SOLs. Fast-forward to ~24:00

[begin misc. notes from video]
Use a 35mm slide projector (e.g., a TMC projector or old filmstrip 
projector) to project a beam of light into an aquarium of colored water; 
point beam of light at a mirror. It's cool -- you can see the path of the 
light beam clearly! Use the same set-up for a follow-on demo of "internal 
reflection": When the mirror (immersed in the water) is angled sharply 
enough, there is a point at which the beam of light is reflected off the 
upper surface of the water in the aquarium.

Remote controls (e.g., for TVs, VCRs, etc.) use infrared light. Point the 
remote control at both a piece of white and black paper: the beam will 
reflect off the white paper; be absorbed by the black paper. Remember 
angle of incidence = angle of reflection.

Concave vs. convex.

Refraction of light in water: Aim low to touch objects in water.

reflection } light changes direction
refraction }

light can be bent, bounced, absorbed, or pulled by gravity

concave
convex (cornea) - makes things bigger

angle of incidence = angle of reflection

speed of light slows down as light passes thru mtls.

focal point

Hocus Focus: fiber optics; internal reflection
