Refraction, artwork C017 / 7069
Refraction. Computer artwork showing light beams passing through a biconvex, or converging, lens. 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

This photo print, titled "Refraction, artwork C017 / 7069" takes us on a mesmerizing journey into the world of optics. Against a striking black background, this computer-generated artwork showcases the intricate beauty of light beams passing through a biconvex lens. The image perfectly captures the phenomenon of refraction - the change in direction that occurs when waves transition from one medium to another. As these vibrant beams traverse through the lens, their speed and wavelength undergo significant alterations due to the change in medium. With its strong visual impact and precise detailing, this illustration highlights key concepts in physics and optics. The convergence of light rays within the biconvex lens creates a focal point where they meet with remarkable precision. This process is crucial for various optical applications such as cameras, microscopes, and telescopes. Moreover, this artwork sheds light on intriguing aspects like refractive index and spherical aberration – phenomena that play vital roles in understanding how lenses manipulate light. Crafted by Russell Kightley for Science Photo Library, this print not only serves as an aesthetic delight but also offers an educational glimpse into the fascinating world of refraction. It invites viewers to appreciate both the artistic representation and scientific significance behind this interplay between light and matter.
