Optics is great. Some great phenomena is reflection which we use for fiber optic cables. The light beam just bounces around in the cable. Another is refraction which we can use to seperate the light could be used in fiber optics or as an optical switch. LCD technology use a number of optical principles from polarizers to refraction to get colors
some interesting instruments are sunglasses or ski goggles because they have polarizers and are anti-reflective (Maui Jim's rock!). LCD screens of course and fiber optic cables. There is also optical switches
