So today, my blog is kind of late, because my friends threw me a surprise party today! YAY FRIENDS! Haha. Well anyway, we went swimming in the pool about 2 hours ago, and yes, it was freezing cold. But super fun anyway. We had a waterproof camera, so we took tons of pictures. And I saw a few different physics optics concepts.
First, we took pictures through the mediums. Our faces were above water, but the camera was submerged in water. There was refraction of light, and on top of that, the waves in the pool increased the distortion. Hence, the picture below.
Second, I saw reflection at the surface of the water. You can see some reflections of my friends and my faces on the surface due to the flash.
Third, my friends and I took underwater pictures. That was fun, but kind of hard to do without drowning. But the final products came out super cool. Since the camera and us were in the same medium, there was no refraction or refraction or anything, so the picture came out (relatively) normal (besides our obviously weird smiles).
Well, that's pretty much how my amazing day went. I hope all you people have a great week. We'll have fun with our giant review packets for physics, won't we, Doc? Next time you get the chance, everyone should go take pictures underwater. But no drowning. That's bad. ;) Happy Headmaster's Holiday everyone! :D
