Light connects multiple spheres of knowledge of the human being (physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, engineering, art ...); and, in addition, the optical phenomena and the technologies related to them are very present in our daily life. What is light? What is behind their different manifestations? What is an optical instrument? How is the eye like an optical instrument? How do we explain human vision? What are the optical technologies we use every day based on? Where is the optics in nature? This book, written by a team of young scientists, aims to answer these and other questions and bring the reader to the exciting world of optics and photonics. Its informative proposal, addressed to the general public, but with special emphasis on students of all levels of Secondary Education, presents a wide variety of experiments related to the different phenomena and optical instruments, where the steps to be followed are clearly stated. All of them are preceded by the explanation of the concepts necessary for its realization and interpretation, and accompanied by numerous illustrations and curiosities. We hope you enjoy the book and have fun playing with optics and photonics.
