Light and Colour
The Young Scientist Investigates topic book on Light and Colour was first published in 1982 and gives information, illustrated by full colour photographs and drawings, about sources and properties of visible light and about coloured light and pigments. It is intended for children aged 8-11 to read and then to answer question and carry out investigations of reflections and colour mixing.
