Refraction of Light by Water

光在水中的折射

Light entering or exting a water surface is bent by refraction. The index of refracton for water is 4/3, implying that light travels 3/4 as fast in water as it does in vacuum.

光进入或离开水面时会发生折射。水的折射率是4/3,这意味着光在水中的传播速度是真空中的3/4。

Refraction at the water surface gives the "broken pencil" effect shown above. Submerged objects always appear to be shallower than they are because the light from them changes angle at the surface, bending downward toward the water.

水面上的折射现象产生了上述所示的“断 pencil 效应”。 submerged 对象总是看起来比实际更浅,因为它们的光在表面改变角度,向下弯曲进入水中。
