James Carpenter and Luke Lowings will demonstrate their latest moving explorations of light in transmission, refraction refraction, in physics, deflection of a wave on passing obliquely from one transparent medium into a second medium in which its speed is different, as the passage of a light ray from air into glass. and reflection. The day will stimulate, excite and inform. Further information and booking forms can be found on www.arlransparency.co.uk. |
