Refraction from a Submerged Light Source

​
beam direction
beam divergence
index of refraction

A light beam is produced by a source submerged in an aqueous solution of refractive index
n
. This Demonstration shows how the light source appears for different beam directions, divergences, and indices of refraction. The same effect causes a stick obliquely submerged in water to appear bent.
