Reflection and refraction of light in water air surface

Light propagating in water reaches a plane surface separating water from air. A fraction of light reflects back and the remaining fraction refracts to air. As the incident angle goes up more and more light reflects until the critical angle is reached. For angles of incident greater than the critical angle all the light reaching the surface reflects (total internal reflection).


This technique creates tons creates really interesting and  complex geometric shapes which would really well if incorporated into our design work. Reflecting the light off different surfaces and layering them ontop of each other would help create a grid like pattern similar to a diamond which would fit in really well incorporating our old design direction and the new.
