Seminars and Outrech Activities, Summary 2008

Descrption of the Outreach Activity “Proyects in Optics”

The main objective is to show the optics by means of experiments. The outreach activity will be focused on students of all science areas and schools. To reach the desired impact we will install an interactive exhibition considering different optical phenomena as interference, diffraction, reflection, refraction, optical specroscopy etc. The exhibition will be mounted at the teaching optics lab of the Physics Department, Universidad de Santiago de Chile for a period of two weeks and will be visited by schools and different universities and general visitors.
