Ibn Al Haitham was a brilliant scientist who wrote many papers on Physics, Astronomy and Mathematics. He was born in the year 965 CE and died in 1039 CE.

He carried out experiments with light, and the results of which were written down and became his famous book, the Book of Optics. The science we now know as 'optics' was born.

Ancient Greek scholars had tried to explain how human beings see, but they had not done any experiments to prove their hypotheses. Ibn Al Haitham was able to prove for the first time in his experiments that people can see because light reflects off things around us and into the eye.

Ibn Al Haitham also developed the first camera obscura. In a dark room of his house, he allowed light to come into the room through a tiny hole, and an upside-down picture of the scene outside appeared on the wall opposite. This experiment established the knowledge on which the first cameras were made.
