We will conduct two different tabletop activities that focus on using surprising properties of light to investigate the structure of matter/materials. Compared to using microscopes, these techniques can tell us different things and at even smaller scales. The first activity uses laser diffraction to study the structure of bird feathers. The second activity uses polarized light to study how materials respond to being put under stress.
