Light Table

See this exhibit in the relocated and reinvented Launchpad - the Science Museum's most popular hands-on, brains-on gallery – when it opens on the 24th November.

At Light Table you can play with and manipulate light using mirrors, lenses and filters. How many mirrors can you bounce a light beam between? Which shape of plastic block makes a light beam fan out or focus to a point? What do you need to create a rainbow?

Simple and beautiful, Light Table shows off the properties of light in a way that will make you want to come back to it again and again.
