Refraction, artwork C017 / 7091
Refraction. Computer artwork of light beams passing through a glass block at different angles. Refraction is the change of direction of a wave when it passes from one medium to another. The change in medium causes a change in speed and wavelength. The rays are refracted as they enter the prism and again as they leave it. Because the surfaces of the block are parallel, the two refractions cancel each other out and the rays emerge in the same direction as they entered

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Refraction, artwork C017 / 7091" by Russell Kightley takes us on a mesmerizing journey into the world of optics. Against a striking black background, we are presented with an intricate illustration showcasing light beams passing through a glass block at various angles. The artwork beautifully captures the phenomenon of refraction - the bending of waves as they transition from one medium to another. As the rays enter the prism, their path is altered due to changes in speed and wavelength caused by the change in medium. However, what makes this image particularly intriguing is that because the surfaces of the glass block are parallel, two refractions occur - one upon entry and another upon exit - effectively canceling each other out. Consequently, these rays emerge from the prism in precisely the same direction as they entered. With its precise depiction of optical principles such as refractive index and laws of refraction, this artwork serves as both an aesthetic delight and an educational tool for physics enthusiasts. It highlights how light can be manipulated and controlled using carefully designed mediums like prisms. Russell Kightley's masterful creation invites us to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also encourages our exploration into fundamental scientific concepts that govern our understanding of light and its behavior within different materials.
