An understanding of the science of light has led to ways of correcting faulty
vision, and improving vision to study objects that are too small or too distant
to be seen by the unaided eye. The performance of instruments such as
microscopes, telescopes, and the human eye depends on the principles of optics.
But even with recent technological advances, some mysteries remain. The nature
of light has puzzled scientists for centuries, and just when they think they
have it figured out, light does something completely unpredictable.
