An air bubble in water behaves like a convex lens. It causes light rays passing through it to converge, forming a virtual image due to refraction. This effect is similar to how a convex lens refracts light to converge at ...

Total internal reflection occurs when light travels from a denser medium to a rarer medium, with an angle of incidence greater than the critical angle. This phenomenon causes the light to be completely reflected back into the denser medium, rather ...
A stick immersed in water appears bent due to the refraction of light. When light travels from water to air, it bends at the interface. This bending alters the apparent position of the stick, making it look bent at the ...
A spherical air bubble embedded in glass behaves optically like a converging lens. Due to the curvature of the bubble’s surfaces, it causes light rays passing through it to converge, similar to how a convex lens bends light towards a ...
The rainbow displays a continuous spectrum of colors. It typically shows seven distinct colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. This sequence of colors is formed due to the dispersion and refraction of sunlight through water droplets in ...
