Resumen de Color Fringes Bordering Black Stripes at the Bottom of a Swimming Pool

Gonzalo Fuster, Roberto Rojas, Viktor Slüsarenko

• We have observed a nice example of chromatic dispersion due to refraction in water, in the form of color fringes bordering the black stripes that exist at the bottom of a swimming pool. Here we give a qualitative description of the phenomenon, explaining the role of the black stripes and the dispersive index of refraction of water.
