Optics: from glasses to large telescopes

Talk: 21st November 2024, 19:00, Conference Hall/Library of Alovera.

This talk will be given by Doctors José Luis F. Cuñado (IMDEA nanociencia, Nanomagnetism Group) and Pablo Molina (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid - Dpt. Física de Materiales).

The talk-workshop will be eminently experimental. We will play with a multitude of optical elements and devices that will help us better understand how phenomena related to light occur and how many of the instruments in our daily lives work, from magnifying glasses and prescription glasses to large telescopes. In this workshop we will also talk about sophisticated techniques based on optical phenomena that are used to conduct research. Such is the case of interference phenomena. But before experiments, a brief overview of optical phenomena will be given, and rapidly we will be moving onto the experiments.
