Physics Gymnasium 2024, Lecture 4: Wave or particle? The enigma of light
Event description
Come along to the fourth lecture in our Physics Gymnasium Series for 2024 to hear our speaker, Professor Harry Quiney, explore the world of the photon:
Join us for an illuminating exploration of light and matter. From its historical conception to the cutting-edge mysteries of today, we'll delve into the perplexing question: is light a wave, a particle, or both? Uncover the mind-bending science behind this fundamental concept and discover where the future of photonics might lead.
Come along to the Hercus Theatre (near the corner of Swanston and Elgin Streets/Tin Alley) at 5:45 pm for light refreshments, for a 6 pm start. The lecture will be 40-50 minutes with time for some questions at the end.
Whilst this is an in-person event, a Zoom link will be sent out to all participants in the hour before the lecture to ensure that our far-flung friends can still come along virtually.
See you there!
