Focusing light
Focusing light. Light rays passing through a lens are focused inwards to a point. When light passes from one optical medium to another in which it travels at a different speed, it is bent (refracted). Lenses use this property to control light entering cameras, glasses and eyes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library beautifully captures the phenomenon of focusing light. The image showcases a slit apparatus, a physical equipment used in optics and physics experiments to study the behavior of light rays. As the light rays pass through a lens, they are skillfully focused inwards towards a single point known as the focal point. The mesmerizing display of converging light rays demonstrates one of nature's most intriguing properties - refraction. When light transitions from one optical medium to another with varying speeds, it bends or refracts. This bending effect is harnessed by lenses to control and manipulate the path of light entering cameras, glasses, and even our own eyes. The intricate details captured in this photograph serve as a testament to both scientific curiosity and technological advancements. It reminds us of how lenses play an essential role in shaping our understanding of optics while enabling us to capture stunning images or improve our vision. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an awe-inspiring visual representation that not only educates but also sparks wonder about the wonders of physics and optics.
