  • BENDING THE LIGHT USING WATER-- COOL SCIENCE EXPERIMENT WITH LASER
    All our school life, we've been taught that light travels in straight lines. Here's a cool experiment that'll prove that light can also bend. Or so you can make people think ;)
    For this experiment, you'll need:
    • Empty bottle
    • Water
    • A screw driver or any pointed thing
    • A laser
    • A bowl
    Procedure:
    • Take an empty bottle and punch a hole on the surface of the bottle.
    • Make sure that the hole is made in or around the midway of the bottle.
    • Put the bottle into the bowl and fill the bottle with water.
    • The water starts flowing out of the bottle through the hole.
    • Using the laser project the beam horizontal to the hole from the other side of the bottle.
    • Notice that the laser beam follows the laminar flow of water stream.
    • And the beam crashes down along with water into the bowl.
    Explanation:
    First things first, in this experiment, technically, the light does not bend. Observe the laminar flow water stream coming out of the bottle. When the water is in laminar flow the water stream acts just like fiber optic and carries the light. When the light beam hits the water stream, the laser light gets reflected inside the stream. Remember the surface of water is reflective both on its surface and below the surface. This underside reflection of water is usually seen in darkly lit environments like a fish tank).
    When light leaves a denser material, in this case water, due to the change in speed it will change directions. However, when a certain angle, called critical angle, is reached, it reflects back.
    Critical angle is the smallest angle of incidence for which light is totally reflected.
    Total internal reflection is a phenomenon that happens when a propagating wave strikes a medium boundary at an angle larger than a particular critical angle with respect to the normal to the surface.
    Critical angle of water is 48.8 degrees. When the angle of the beam crosses the critical angle the light does not go out of the stream and total internal reflection takes place. At the end of the stream, there is a lot of turbulence, so the continuous reflection chain breaks or scatters down and the laser light gets scattered.
    Because of this phenomenon called total internal reflection, the light appears to be traveling along with the water stream.

    Light actually can bend. A beam of light called the airy beam actually bends in air on its own. At CREOL at UCF they used a beam and a spatial light modulator to program the light to bend whenever.

    To improve this demonstration, use a hot needle or soldiering iron and melt a perfect hole in the side of the bottle. You want water flow that is like a perfect extruded curving cylinder (like toothpaste), not turbulent flow that is actually breaking into thousands of droplets soon after exit. :-) Cool demonstration, and fantastic explanation! :-)

    i'm not quite sure I understand how to apply the angle aspect. In the demonstration the beam of light is parallel to the ground, and it's aimed at the opening of the stream. Where does the 48.8 degrees come in? Should I imagine the arc of water broken down into little straight segments, and determine the angle of the segment relative to a line perpendicular to where the beam of light strikes the segment?

    It would be cool to make a hydro-optic cable instead of a fiber optic cable. Probably not practical, but a fun way to demonstrate the similarity of the physics.
    I also wonder how the optics would change with different liquids. I know water has a certain reflection index, but it would be interesting to see this done with a collection of different liquids like ethanol, or PG. I guess it would still work, but I'm no physicist.

    That means you're either lying to me by making me think that light bends or my school lied to me.
    Light does not bend, in this example, only the water in which the light travels bends.
