Description
Lensing, caustics and chromatic aberation of sunlight on water in a swimming pool. The rippled surface of the water acts like many small lenses, focussing light onto tiles (caustics), distorting their shape and adding coloured fringes (chromatic aberation). In optics, a caustic or caustic network is the envelope of light rays reflected or refracted by a curved surface or object, or the projection of that envelope of rays on another surface. These curved surfaces act like assymetric lenses focussing the light rays into constantly changing patterns.
