Refraction with Concave and Convex Lenses
One of the ways we manipulate light to make it do what we want to do is by using lenses to change the direction of light via refraction.

Properties of Laser Light: Collimated
In this part, we’ll demonstrate that LASER light is collimated by comparing the area of light produced by LED lights to that of LASER light at various distances.
