WXMI — In our science experiment today, we look at a disappearing coin trick, which really is no trick at all. It illustrates density and refraction. Some things are more dense (or heavier) than other ...

Porous rubber microbeads suspended in a gel are found to exhibit a negative acoustic index of refraction, which makes these metamaterials promising for underwater acoustic applications. Figure 1: ...

The refractive index is the fundamental property of all optical materials and dictates Snell’s law, propagation speed, wavelength, diffraction, energy density, absorption and emission of light in ...

In the fibres of Dendrocalamus strictus and D. longispathus it has been shown that the refractive indices of the outer wall lamella, parallel and perpendicular to cell length, are correlated not only ...

Students use mirror equations to determine the position and type. Students use mirror equations to determine the position, type, and size of mirror images for curved mirrors mathematically. Optical ...

Recent experiments that demonstrate the negative refraction of light could bring a heated scientific debate to a close, and give negative-index materials a positive future Figure 1: Negative-index ...
