Title
Using the missing pin to challenge concepts of refraction and total internal reflection
Abstract
A container was placed on top of a piece of white paper, and a pin positioned so
that it vertically touched an outside wall of the container. Students were asked to
predict the image of the pin when it was observed from the top of the container.
Two scenarios of either an empty container or a container completely filled
with water were considered in order to raise students’ thinking involving the
concepts of refraction and total internal reflection.
