Light: the quantum phenomenon that provides light energy to our world. Radiant energy is why we can observe a twinkling star in the night sky, perceive the colors of a painting, distinguish day from night, and witness life itself. However, the concept of light is difficult to digest. Many questions about this still need to be pondered, and most of the ones that exist require technology beyond your and my reach to answer. But we can demonstrate something without many modern tools: light manipulation. The manipulation of light consists of three central keys: reflection, refraction and absorption. Waves bounce, bend and soak as a result of these forms of manipulation. We'll focus on refraction, the reason why light waves bend. The rays, depending on the material they pass through, move at different speeds. It travels through the void faster since it is empty space. Air comes next on the list. What if light traveled from air to water? Refraction would cause light to bend or twist when passing through a medium with a different density. Knowing what the word is is one thing, but knowing...
