Bend laser light around a suspended coin, into the center of its shadow. A cool display of the wave nature of light and an example of diffraction. A red laser or laser of any other color may be used.
lasers are always cool to experiment with. Ive stumbled across some neat effects.

THATS NOT BENDING LIGHT ITS JUST COVERING IT WITH A SMALLER OBJECT THAN THE LIGHT SIZE..
By prccorp 1213673895 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWhen we're talking about the Arago (Poisson/Fresnal) spot, we mean the bright spot in the center of the shadow, not the light around the shadow. The Huygens–Fresnel principle for light wave propagation says in this case that each point around the coin circumference will act like a point source, and in the center of the shadow they all constructively interfere, making the Arago spot.

But you could see the faint light diffracting around the circular edge of the coin.
