What are reflection and transmission, and how do they work?A set of four priceless archival recordings from the University of Auckland (New Zealand) of the outstanding Nobel prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman - arguably the greatest science lecturer ever. Although the recording is of modest technical quality the exceptional personal style and unique delivery shine through. Feynman gives us not just a lesson in basic physics but also a deep insight into the scientific mind of a 20th century genius analysing the approach of the 17th century genius Newton. For the young scientist, brought up in this age of hi-tech PC / PowerPoint-based presentations, we also get an object lesson in how to give a lecture with nothing other than a piece of chalk and a blackboard. Furthermore we are shown how to respond with wit and panache to the technical mishaps that are part-and-parcel of the lecturer's life.

Excellent introduction to the subject, August 06, 2006
Reviewer: oslin
Feynman's lecture is a clear and thorough explanation of basic properties of light. I found this lecture well worth the time it took to listen.
