Four Pins Reveal the Hidden Path of Light (Can You See Through the Trick Photo?)"},"content":{"rendered":"

Hi, I’m Ken Kuwako, your Science Trainer. Every Day is an Experiment!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have you ever noticed a straw in a glass of water looking like it’s bent or broken? Or the bottom of a swimming pool appearing shallower than it really is? These are all fascinating phenomena caused by light undergoing refraction, which simply means light is bending as it passes from one medium to another.<\/p>\n

But let’s be honest, visualizing the path of invisible light can be tough. Diagrams in textbooks often don’t click with students. That’s why today, I’m going to show you an amazing experiment to “capture” the invisible path of light and make it visible!<\/p>\n

We’ll be using a standard science lab item, a glass block. But the real secret that makes this experiment click with students is the addition of an ordinary, everyday item: the sewing pin!<\/p>\n

If you’re thinking, “Wait, a pin? How?”\u2014that\u2019s a great start! In today’s experiment, we\u2019ll solve the mystery of why light bends, and in the process, figure out how those mind-bending trick photos, like the one below where a head seems detached from a neck, are possible.<\/p>\n
