Document Summary
= realization that these are wavelengths to which water is transparent. Light interacts with matter in three ways: reflection: bouncing of light rays off a surface (specular sharpest edge / diffusion, refraction: bending of the half light rays that take place at interface btwn any two transparent medium. Lenses are created by having a media of two different embassies of refraction in a known way based on angle at which they are incident to the boundary btwn the media how optics and lenses work. Infrared rays are insufficiently energetic: the further you go into infrared, the lower the energy of the quantum and less likely i tis to cause conformational changes that can give rise to photochemical cascades. If friend waves at you and visible at corner of your eye, you rotate your eye to bring fovea onto the image of the person waving at you: point of visual field where you see best.
