Ice Cold...

...Just like the world. Aren't I a little cynic...Haha. Anyway one day, after my sister's volleyball practice, my mom emptied her water bottle. In the bottle was water, and a bowl made of ice. It literally looked like a bowl. My mom gave it to me, so I played with it. I played with it until it melted and my hands were numb. It was fun.



I did a ton of things. I held it up to the curtain to see what it would look like, I filled it with water and put things in it, I even took pictures of myself through it. And I took lots of pictures. LOTS.


As I read in my textbook this weekend, the distorted effect that I saw was because of refraction. The light reflected off of the curtain or the fork or the spoon or my face was bent through both the ice and the water. When the light bends, it reaches your eye differently, and you end up with a distorted image. As with the spoon and the fork, you can clearly see three levels of refraction: Through the air, through the ice, and through the water.

I learned that ice and water make a very good photo opportunity as well as a good physics topic. One more picture to maybe brighten up your day...or your week. :] What an attractive picture...>_<
