MIT Researchers show How Light propagates

Researchers at Bawendi Lab, MIT, have built an imaging solution that allows a viewer to visualize propagation of light at an effective rate of one trillion frames per second (the light from Sun takes 8 minutes to reach earth, this means light travels like any other matter. And if you look closely at the video below you will see packets of light reaching any surface with a time difference).



In the video below, the researchers are again demonstrating the propagation of light; but this time with a different set up. The propagation of a laser pulse through different scenes:
A toy in front of a mirror, a piece of rock candy, an orange (hit from the back), and so on; all shot at an effective rate of one trillion frames per second.
