Flash Science: Reflecting in the bath

 In Flash Science, Shopcasts and Videos

An internally frosted, large light bulb is dipped into a fish tank of water, and the total internal reflection effect produces ‘other-worldly’ consequences to how the bulb looks in the water. The bulb goes from white to a silvery orb. Turning the bulb on, produces a similar, but more alluring effect.
