How To: Snell's Window Demonstration with a GoPro / Experiment / Physics / Internal Reflection

- A demonstration of Snell's Window and the internal reflection with a GoPro and the Max Lens. Snell's law and Snell's window is a phenomenon of light that gave place to the creation of the first wide angle photography in history by the physician Robert W. Wood in 1906.
- I measured with rough precision the minimum angle of view necessary to make the Snell's Window visible is around 124,9º , the crazy thing is that the theory circulating internet including Wikipedia points it should happen beyond 97°, I think it's clear that the proven reality in this video demonstrates that any camera below a 124,9º field of view will fail to reproduce Snell's Window in a complete circle and in fact failed in my previous attempts with different cameras and lenses without sufficient field of view.
- Very interesting to see as well the internal reflection phenomenon.

Nice❤
Looks tripper especially when you bring it to the surface
Yeah if you stop at 1:17 you can also see the water acting like a convex lens refracting the light and scaling down the image including the circular black foreground, for an instant the water is coating the fisheye lens surface with a thin layer.
@@IsaacRC have you ever tried with more than two mdiums w different refractive indices to see if theres a compounded effect or multiple?
@@angelarenee5832 Only water, tried to make a time lapse inside a pot with water but mini air bubbles started appearing right in front of the lens incrementally with time, now that I mention it I should try a video in the beach! 💡
Trippy
If you put a global 2d map across the top of the water it will turn it into looking like a spherical earth. Shine a light just right and it will look like the sun rising from the ISS perspective
It would have to be a map of the size and shape of the water surface of the bathtub i guess
@@IsaacRC I ordered a camera to try and already picked up the larger fov lens. Thanks for your video it helped inspire me to work more on some of my optics projects
@@IsaacRC I’m going to try some with a few mirrors around it and try to see what the retroreflection will do and also use more layers of different refraction index if possible to see if 3 or more layers does something different or others
@@angelarenee5832 Sounds good, experimental science in the visual field it's really fun, the last addition of my wish list is a glass prism for splitting the light or why not just a modern spectrometer. I should mention that both my Gopro models 9 and 11 came glitchy from factory, although the company is legit and very diligent on sending a fully functional replacement in a week, i would be prepared to beta test with a microscope those cameras for the first signs of software red flags and to document it for their online technical support, it's frustrating but they're in my opinion the best color science out there.
@@IsaacRC sometimes the mistakes can be useful. i had chromatic abberation in a cheap camera and helped me win an art contest lol. raman spectroscopy always fascinated me. i was supposed to train w a unit but the teacher was more busy w the quantum optics grant they had. i still hope to get a unit some day. good tips thanks.
