The relevance of studying this is for students to understand how the past has affected the present, and how we can learn from it to shape the future.
Technology Students will understand the interdependence of science and technology. Since they are learning about light as energy, they will understand various optical instruments and see how science and technology inspire each other.

They will be introduced to Comic Life software as a comic designing tool.
