The questions in a didactic sequence for teaching different aspects of the light in a unified framework and in an unconventional way are presented in this work. The objectives to be attained by each question are also described hereafter. Then, the focus is set on the analysis of the double slit experience with light by using concepts of the Feynman method of ?Multiple Paths? in quantum mechanics. The advantages of this formulation for the teaching of basic aspects of quantum mechanics in secondary school education are analyzed.
