Fun Water Experiments Demonstrating Air Pressure and Light Refraction

We have done three water experiments here, to demonstrate Air Pressure effect on Water and effect on light path traversal when it passes through water glass.

Experiment 1 – Light Refraction when it passes through water glass

Make and place arrows pointing to left, just before glass of water. When you see through the water glass, arrow points towards right. Why does it happen? Light travels from the air, through the glass, then through the …
