Refraction in Action





The British government invests quite heavily in the professional development of teachers these days, so recently I was lucky enough to be put up in a nice hotel for a training course.

Over lunch my colleagues were disconcerted to see me take pictures of objects rather than people, but I think you will agree it was worth while.

Can you explain why the tray and its contents appears so truncated in the image through the vase? Why is it back to front?
