Snells law Memes

The perfect visual demonstration of why you should never trust what you see in water! The top panel shows someone seemingly drowning and screaming for help, while the bottom reveals they're actually just chilling with their body comfortably bent at the water's surface. This is Snell's Law in action—light bends when traveling between media with different refractive indices, making objects appear displaced from their actual position. Next time you try to grab that coin at the bottom of the pool, remember it's not actually where you think it is... and neither is that "drowning" swimmer who's probably just enjoying a float!
