In my photograph I stuck my hand into a bowl of water next to a mirror. There are two concepts of physics shown in my photograph. The first concept is refraction. Refraction is the bending of a ray of light as it passes from one medium to another. What this means is when light changes direction and position as it travels through something, such as glass. In my picture my hand is put in a glass bowl of water. The light shown through the glass of my arm is not its original shape, because of the light rays being bent. The other concept of my picture is Reflection. In my picture the glass bowl with my arm in it is in front of a flat mirror. A flat mirror is a mirror that reflects the light rays in the same order as in which they come at the mirror. The image in the mirror of my picture is the same size of the bowl and my arm and it is also the same distance from the mirror as my arm and the bowl are from the mirror. Also the image in the mirror is a reflection since no light passes through the image. The two concepts of my photograph are Reflection and Refraction.
