Light Interactions with Materials in Art and Science

This video tutorial, presented by Joe, explores how light interacts with different materials. It begins with an introduction to visible light and the field of optics, which studies refraction, reflection, absorption, and transmission of light. The tutorial explains refraction as the bending of light, reflection as the bouncing back of light, absorption as the intake of light by materials, and transmission as the passage of light through materials. The video concludes with a recap of these concepts, emphasizing the importance of understanding optics.
