Light
is an integral part of our lives. In earlier times, it was perceived that light consists
of rays that travel in straight lines from the eye to the object and the sensation of
sight is obtained when these rays touch the object, much like the sense of touch. Through
a century of research works done by several scientists, we now fairly understand what
light is and how it behaves.
The 'Light
& Sight' gallery showcases the properties and applications of light and mechanisms
that facilitate our vision through interactive exhibits, working models and multimedia
presentations. The gallery also provides insight into various illusions that we experience
through our visual sense.
