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