Description
Why is the sky blue? How do rainbows form? And what can bubbles, flames and even chocolate reveal about the science of light?
Just some of the questions that the Ri Demo team will explore in their colourful show. Breaking the boundaries of visible light, we’ll discover how light bends, reflects and scatters into colours of the rainbow – revealing the science behind familiar sights and extraordinary effects.
See everyday phenomena in a whole new light in this demonstration packed event uncovering the hidden wonders around us.
