Bending Light

Bending Light
Monday, 7th April, 2008
We got a bottle, painted half of it black, put a hole in it and stuck a straw out of the hole. We filled the bottle with water and put on the lid.
We noticed that when the lid was on the bottle, no water came out the straw but as soon as we took the top off the bottle, the water came spurting out.
We shone a torch at the back of the bottle. We could see the light from the torch in the water that was bending into the container. Our experiment didn’t work very well. We think this is because the room was too bright. We will try again some darker day.
