Refraction, artwork C017 / 7094
Refraction. Computer artwork of diverging light beams passing through a glass sphere and converging to the right of the sphere. The converging rays do not form a perfect focus at right due to spherical aberration. Refraction is the change of direction of a wave when it passes from one medium to another. The change in medium causes a change in speed and wavelength

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Refraction, artwork C017 / 7094" by Russell Kightley takes us on a mesmerizing journey through the world of optics. Set against a striking black background, the image showcases an intricate illustration of diverging light beams passing through a glass sphere and converging to the right. The artist skillfully captures the phenomenon of refraction - the bending or change in direction that occurs when waves pass from one medium to another. As these rays transition from air to glass, their speed and wavelength are altered, resulting in this stunning visual display. However, what makes this artwork truly intriguing is its depiction of spherical aberration. Despite converging towards a focal point at the right side of the sphere, these rays do not form a perfect focus due to this optical flaw. This imperfection adds depth and complexity to the composition while reminding us of nature's intricacies. The use of vivid colors and precise detailing enhances our understanding of concepts such as refractive index, lens properties, and magnification. The convex shape of the glass sphere acts as a magnifying orb for these refracted beams, further emphasizing their beauty. In summary, Kightley's artwork invites viewers into an enchanting realm where science meets artistry. It serves as both an educational tool for exploring physics principles like refraction and spherical aberration while also captivating our imagination with its aesthetic appeal.
