Peer reviewedAlthoen, S. C.; Weidner, J. F. – College Mathematics Journal, 1985
Standard calculus textbooks often include a related rates problem involving light cast onto a straight line by a revolving light source. Mathematical aspects to these problems (both in the solution and in the method by which that solution is obtained) are examined. (JN)
Descriptors: Calculus, College Mathematics, Higher Education, Light
Peer reviewedBrusca, Stephen – Physics Education, 1985
Examines the question "Why does light travel at speed c?", dispelling the widespread qualitative notion that the speed of light results from time delays in the interaction of electric and magnetic fields. Also presents information by which readers can work on their own qualitative insights concerning the speed of light. (JN)

Peer reviewedLangley, Dorothy; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1997
Investigates the conceptions and representations of light propagation, image formation, and sight typical to preinstruction learners (N=139). Findings indicate that preinstructional students display some familiarity with optical systems, light propagation, and illumination patterns and have not developed a consistent descriptive and explanatory…

Rush, Richard D. – American School & University, 2003
Discusses the use of daylight to improve the interiors of educational facilities, offering an overview on the properties of natural light and ways and benefits of ensuring its presence indoors. (EV)
Descriptors: Educational Facilities Design, Interior Space, Light, Lighting Design
Peer reviewedBartels, Richard; Loxsom, Fred – Physics Teacher, 1995
Discusses factors that determine whether or not a sunburn is possible under glass, including the spectral dependence of the skin's sensitivity to sunburn, the ground-level spectrum of solar radiation, and the wavelength dependence of the transmission for the particular piece of glass. Concludes that it is possible to get sunburned through glass.…

Peer reviewedMartins, Roberto De Andrade; Silva, Cibelle Celestino – Science and Education, 2001
Elucidates some aspects of Newton's theory of light and colors, specifically as presented in his first optical paper in 1672. Analyzes Newton's main experiments intended to show that light is a mixture of rays with different refrangibilities. (SAH)

Direct linkBeck, John – Science and Children, 2004
If one looks at a rain cloud with the Sun behind one's back, the sunlight and water drops may interact just right, revealing the familiar arc of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Many of people have been pleasantly surprised to see a rainbow in the sky, but probably have not considered why they occur. Rainbows are caused by…
