Seeing the DifferenceDeha Ekrem ŞamiloğluAward: Top 100
School: terakki foundation schools I titled this photo "Seeing the Difference" to show the fascinating science of optics through a simple pair of glasses placed on my open physics textbook. One side has a regular glass lens, letting light pass straight through without change. The other side has a corrective lens, designed to bend and focus light properly, showing the everyday magic of physics that helps me see clearly. The textbook below features diagrams of lenses and light rays that explains how light bends when it moves from air into glass which is also known as refraction. The curved corrective lens refracts light at precise angles, either converging or diverging the rays so they form a sharp image on the retina. This adjustment corrects vision, proving how essential optics is in daily life. In contrast, the plain glass shows what happens without correction: light travels straight through, unaltered. This visual difference emphasizes how something as simple as a lens can transform our view of the world. Through this photo, I hope to show how even basic tools like eyeglasses reveal the amazing power of physics. It's a reminder that science isn't just in labs or textbooks, it's all around us, shaping how we see and understand the world every day.
